Someone told those 200 cornhole rednecks the the storm was an illegal immigrant trying to take their home.
Actually half of them buy the rumors that after the storms immigrants loot all the empty houses.
Bullshit of course
We did that during Katrina, we told people we couldn’t make them leave, but to write their ssn in permanent marker on both arms to help us ID them later.
I’d be really curious for how many that was convincing enough to leave, and how often it actually helped identifying the bodies
I’m betting the people who didn’t leave didn’t write any ID on their arms
Fair, although always that 1 guy that surprises you
It would wash off, and bloating would make it indecipherable. Also cows float upside-down, just 4 hooves sticking up.
As in other spots in Florida, mandatory evacuations were ordered for Taylor County, but Padgett estimated that as much as half of his population is choosing to stay put.

ST. MARKS, Fla. — Hurricane Helene is expected to bring a wall of water nearly as high as many of the buildings in this small coastal town, but Philip Tooke had no plans to heed the warnings from emergency management officials and evacuate.
He’d weathered plenty of strong storms before. And he worried about Susan D, Jenny Lee and La Victoria — his three boats. Stone crab season starts in nine days, and Tooke said he didn’t want to fall behind on business.
“There isn’t a storm I haven’t been here taking care of my babies,” he said as a light rain began to drizzle Thursday. “This is my livelihood.”
Tooke is precisely the type of resident giving emergency managers fits as Helene approaches Florida as a potentially catastrophic storm.
If your boats go down, I seriously doubt that your presence is going to do much aside from having you go with them.
I’m now convinced that people like this and my ex wife are lacking something in their brains that prevents them from evaluating the actual consequences of these decisions.
It’s quite plain to me that sending sexts to the dude you had affair with is going to brutally end your marriage, just like if a well predicted storm is going to destroy your property it doesn’t matter if you are there or not - no human can stop a storm.
I’m sorry you’re going through that, man, that’s awful.
Better late than never. I’m getting over it better now. Turns out I didn’t really appreciate how bad her daddy issues were.
I feel like the people who should write an identifier on their body during a hurricane are the same people who wouldn’t bother to listen to government officials advise.
I am in NW GA. We occasionally get some fallout from hurricanes here, but I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve seen this much rain, and at time of writing there’s still time before the actual storm(s?) hits.
Be safe!

I was going to be productive and do chores tonight, but now I’m watching this
Thanks for the link! Guys are super informative and seem to know their stuff. No idea if he’s affiliated with NOAA or something, first I’ve heard of him.
It is a smart move for two reasons: it will allow easier identification in case, and it will bring home the message that someone not following evacuation orders should expect the worst.
It’s not that the wind is blowin’…
It’s what the wind is blowin’.
This is just the beginning, storms are going to be getting more and more intense and more frequent due to climate change. We should expect this as the new normal. Living in these areas hit by hurricanes often probably should plan on leaving long term.
