re: #32 lawhawk

NYC evacuated Zone A areas.

Mind you, the Zone A was meant for Cat 1 storms.

Sandy may have been a Cat 1 storm by wind speed, but the storm surge was closer to a Cat 3 marginal Cat 4 storm, pushing water into Zone B and C areas.

But not everyone wanted to leave those areas.

That’s where some of the problems mount.

I don’t feel sorry for people who have been told to evacuate, but they refuse to leave, thinking they’ll just ride it out, and then end up calling for help because it was way rougher than they ever imagined. I guess I’m a bitch, but they can deal with the repercussions of their decision on their own and quit tying up responders and resources who have better things to do than deal with a bunch of bozos.
