I am not very happy with this new law. I agree, that if you stay the taxpayers should not have to pay to rescue you. I live on a river about 3 miles from the coast, and feel that I am capable of making the final decision.
I don't like being forced to leave, to let any thug do as they please.
The other main problem I have is the fact that if you leave, you don't know when you may get back in.
So many of the damaged houses during storms could of been saved if the people were let back in to pull the carpets and cut out the wet sheetrock. I know there are safety issues involved, but I am willing to release the Govt. and others of any responsibility just so I can do what is neccessary to save my property. The longer it sets, the more likey you have to completely rebuild, its not that hard to figure out just look around.
I evacuated for Ike and Rita, because it looked like they were going to hit us hard. Fortunately, for us they went in far enough east that it did not do much damage around here except for some high water.
