Many people are aware thousands got affected. Your blanket statement was towards everyone in the southeast Texas area. We stayed because we weighed our decision based on 30 years experience here and at this point are not affected. That's what some people, including me, are "thinking."
Again your choice. The statement was not ignorant, even if you don't get flooded there's a good chance you could be without power for days. You could warn people a ballistic missle was headed directly for their house and they still wouldn't leave.

For any power outage, we have a power generator.
As for your missile comment, we are talking about natural disasters, which are non discriminatory. Big difference bud.
Mahesh, glad you are ok and our prayers go out to all of the Texans affected by this disaster. As for the F, that's just a sad sight in my opinion, I would love to have that ride sitting in my drive way!

You're right but I think you're being a bit harsh on him. I don't think he's doing it from a place of criticism. He's just concerned and doesn't know your territory like you do. When I was in New York once visiting friends, a big storm came and we drove across state to get away "just in case." Weather is never fully predictable.
I've been told never to buy a used car that had been registered in Texas before. Something about them having a way to make a salvage title a clean title again.

Ive heard this too, although I don't have all the fact to back this up, it's enough for me to steer clear of any Texas registered car in the mean time. Curious to see what others say.

I hate to say it, but you can do that in any state if you know the loop holes and know what you are doing. Not saying it's right, but I had a buddy of mine that use to do it all the time. He would buy salvaged cars, clean them up, clean the title, then sell them for a profit. Again, not saying it's right....

30 years? Didn't see the hurricane in '61 then. Glad you got lucky, but thousands of unlucky people in New Orleans made the same choice for Katrina. Someone questioning your decision to stay is not unfounded.
I grew up in Iowa. We had tornadoes. The night we were at the race track and a tornado was within a few miles, no one at the track thought "no worries, we'll just hang out here where the tornado won't come." I saw it on a ridge blowing apart houses like an atom bomb. One second there, the next, nothing. It never did hit the track.
Your choice to stay is personal. But anyone questioning it, isn't foolish. Your decision to stay may or may not have been good. This time you were fine. Best of luck with that strategy, you'll need it.
