....are fucking inconsiderate. 200 people have been rescued and another 150 wait rescuing. All because they wanted to wait it out. Evidently it's perfectly okay to put a rescuer's life on the line because of the ignorant.
New Bern flood waters rise

It is unreal the number of people who decided to ride this out. Hopefully they will learn a lesson. Just now hearing from the Weather Channel that a child has died due to a tree falling on the family home.
I'm sorry - but in what fucking reality does anyone think it a great idea to stick around with their children when a hurricane is knocking on the damn door? When you're told to evacuate - leave. Go however you need to but just go. Putting your families lives in harm's way makes you a shitty and a foolish parent. /rant

Despite a mandatory evacuation ordered Tuesday, Craven County emergency crews reported rescuing multiple residents from Hurricane Florence floodwaters through the early morning Friday.

Quote:The rescues began around 4 p.m. Thursday, Craven County spokeswoman Amber Parker said.
Parker said emergency crews were doing their best to reach areas that were “just too dangerous” because of extreme flooding, storm surges, and winds of 40 mph to 50 mph.
