Deaths are starting to be reported. I think one lady died of a heart attack because downed trees blocked responders.

I'm sure there is a small number of people whose circumstances didn't allow them to leave and I hope they stay safe or get the help they need, but to the people who decided to "hunker down" because they would be too inconvenienced by evacuation traffic, get hosed.


Anyway, I'm hoping my trees don't snap or uproot. They're really bendy right now (in Charlotte).

You will be saddened to learn that most Americans are too poor to withstand a 400$ emergency or change anything about their lives. These both presumably cover the inability to pick up and evacuate for many.
