[QUOTE=NJ Quilter;5627407]And, sorry for the personal rant, but when you are told by the powers that be to evacuate - DO IT! When you don't, you're putting my DH's life on the line. And many other first responders. Please don't make me a widow unnecessarily. Your stuff is STUFF! I'd be sad to lose things as well. I get it when something freakish happens that could not be foreseen. In this case - not so for many, many people. OK - rant over.
I so agree with you. It's inconsiderate, uncaring, rude and irresponsible not to think about the first responders' lives.
