I've never been through a hurricane or faced any kind of evacuation order. But I know my mind would be going over the pluses and minuses of evacuation. At the top of the list is the governments bend towards over-protecting us and putting their fingers of control into just everything. It makes you distrust them, and that spills over into warnings and evacuation orders. Especially when you know the looters will be having a merry old time at your place while you're gone.

Safety is paramount, but many of us survived falls on the playground without the new government mandated special rubber mats to save us from ourselves. There's a point where government undermines themselves and we tend to laugh at them based on their silly over-reactions to things. Do we still believe them when they say "this one will be a monster"?

I would probably evacuate. But the above thoughts would be going through my mind.
