It's coastal Florida, hurricanes are inevitable.
They shouldn't need emergency help because they should have evacuated. Evacuation orders were issued Monday.
Why should the rest of us subsidize their poor choice of living location? If you cannot afford adequate insurance, then you shouldn't live there. The cost of insurance should reflect the actual risk and not rely on taxpayer subsidy.
We have helped in the past, and it hasn't fixed the fundamental problem - see point 1.
It's different to send aid to Asheville, hurricanes aren't really expected to destroy elevated inland town. Coastal Florida should expect this weather.
Poor planning on their part shouldn't constitute an emergency for the rest of us.
You need to shut the fuck up and sit down.
Is it considered tacky to keep the plywood up year-round?
