EXACTLY! there are some people who are just stupid, and stay since they think its "cool"

Screw cool! If it's a Cat 3, I'm nervous and possibly leaving...Cat 4 or 5, I choose life! I'm out of here, especially when professionals are saying get the heck out of dodge...My husband wanted to stay here during Rita and I made him leave to go to Baton Rouge...They got hit too, but not head on like over here...We live near WAY too many trees and had LOTS of damage in our neighborhood...Talked to some that did stay and they said never again...The worse trauma they have ever experienced and didn't want to do it again...I don't want to know what it feels like to go through a Cat 4 or 5...There are some things that can be left to the imagination and that's one of them...
