    So emotional listening to this lady.
    Just because you're in a mobile home, does not mean you're not AS important as anyone else. You ARE!! That broke my heart.

      Same thing happened in Hurricane Charley 18 years ago, the people here knew this could happen yet they still stayed. Bottomline it that it is your responsiblity, you are the one near the hurricane. It doesn't matter what the forecasters are saying. You are the one that has to make the decision to leave. Hurricane Charley was also forecast to go into Tampa but it made the same right turn this one did.
