Reply #13: Some us don't have the luxury

of "getting the fuck out of" here.

The preceding post indicated it was stupid to waste time taping the windows. Yes, many of you, without the benefit of ever experiencing the full brunt of a hurricane, are very vocal advising us to get "the fuck out of there."

Try and wrap your head around this simple, annoying, maddening, but fundamental truth. Some of us simply can NOT just pick up and leave.

For those of us in that position, yes, I am trying to offer words of encouragement. Yes, hunker down. Yes, tape your windows. The glass from taped windows does not spread as wide, it does not spread as far, it's less likely to send shards in your eyes.

Those of you saying "get the fuck out of there" are saying it with the best of intent. Thank you, sincerely, for the concern.

Those of us who can't pick up and leave have enough on our minds, so, if you don't mind, stop spouting the obvious to us. In your words, "Seriously!"
