Real bad law.  I just do not need someone else telling what to do.  I've ridden out a few hurricanes ( when I was in the Navy, they would fly the aircraft out and leave the ground pounders to fend for them selves).  I take FULL responsibility for my actions.

Having survived an early 70's earthquake in southern California, a tornado in Minnesota and a house fire, I am a full believer that property owners have the right to remain with their property!

Our home survived the earthquake with minimal damage, and there were no utility problems in our area, so there were no major health or safety issues to allow the authorities to try something.

Following the tornado there were no major damages to the house.  Everything was limited to the several out buildings and trees.  Our entire family remained and worked our way through it.

Following the fire, wife and kids went to her folks home in town for convienence.  However, I remained camping out on the yard to #1 continue to operate the business, #2 work with the fire damage, and #3 protect the place from lookie lews and other creeps.

This is not the United Commune of America!  I have the Right and Responsibility to care for my own!  If I abandon my property in the face of a storm I am resigning to the fact it will be gone if I ever return.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Any time a government passes a law to force people to do something in relation to their privately owned property it is a bad law and probably unconstitutional.

I agree with the general consensus. This is a bad law that I oppose.
“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?”

Been through the "best of them" Fran, Floyd, Bertha, and a couple that were just "teasers".  Mandatory evacuations only applied to NON RESIDENTS.  The Locals, except for the Darwin candidates, KNOW what that means...

3 to 7 days with NO HELP. NO Power, Nothing..... but what you stockpiled and planned for.

Here's a glimpse.... This went on for HOURS!!!!!

This is a bad law... Locals know that there will be NO rescue attempts for the immediate aftermath. Just as I have the Castle Doctrine in a SD situation, I can stay on my property, even if its a bad idea,...

I'll handle my own. Plus I kept my sign,,,moving to Florida,....and all...




Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.
