I did not say that well.

The *hazards* of riding out a hurricane are overstated, though it's a case-by-case thing based on trees and flooding potential.

The *difficulties* of riding out a hurricane are greatly underestimated. It's basically camping out for three weeks, the ancient, long forgotten form of camping without TV, cell phones or air-conditioned motor-homes.

When the politicians told most Houstonians to stay and not evacuate and I thought there would be a huge outcry when people found out how difficult life would be afterward. But apparently most realize it's just a hard problem.
