But this isn't just "A N other", its one of the most severe for a long time. Let's show a bit of empathy, Minerva.

'The water's going to come in, it's going to rise. If you're on land, it's going to flood. You're risking drowning. I'm in a boat, so the boat goes up with the water... it's really the safest place to be, on my boat.'
Just hope no one has to risk their life to save him

Looking at video footage of damage after the last Hurricane, he stands a fair chance of ending up in the High Street..in his boat.

If you’re a seat of the pants kind of sailor, you’d have a haemorrhoid barometer I suppose.

There is another aspect, insurance is not available or extremely expensive. Another one is houses damaged beyond $80K will have to be rebuilt to the latest codes. Could be pricey, or just impractical.
The US side of my familly have places down there, but holiday, so they are sitting further north in safety. The only one that is a resident has likely legged it by now. Not short of the odd $, unlike some that simply can't afford to find somewhere to rent till it's over. Not to mention the lack of petrol to travel.

Confusing story, did he go to the shelter or not. The video of the plane inside the eye of the storm was impressive though.
