Residents speak out on staying behind for Hurricane Florence

1. 1:33 YES!!!! THANK YOU!! People act like we’re just dumb southerners who don’t know wtf is goin on, but we deal with this on a regular basis. OBVIOUSLY if it hit as a cat 4 or 5 WE WOULDA LEFT, but it didn’t. That hardly ever happens. I’ve been through a dozen hurricanes in my lifetime and never seen a cat 4 or cat 5. This is something that we grew up with, our lives are here, our families are here, everything we know is here! Just because the yanks pack up n run doesn’t mean that’s what we are going to do (or should do). 20,000 North Carolinians evacuated. THATS NOTHING!! This is my opinion but it’s obviously widely accepted here or we’d of had a million ppl evac. Just because you don’t understand something, does not make it wrong!!!!!

2. I’m wondering why some people are just dumb, you are able to move but you don’t want to really ? Gosh the rescuers have families too common .

3. She'll be the first one crying begging for someone to rescue her when shit hit the fan. They should just leave her since she didn't take it serious.

4. They have a Right. Those with children should be charged with child endangerment. If they get killed they need to be held for manslaughter

5. Investigate 311!

6. virtue signalling, yeah your great omg staying so amazing good job for you fucking idiot just for some media headlines

7. Are making that decision (to stay) and knows what it means. Yeah. We will find u in a body bag.

8. Ahh… Gio Benitez, my top favourite "storm reporter" guy in the USA. He is quite a sexy, handsome and athletic guy with scout boy spirit and mentality. His reports are too commonly good, well done and interesting. Though the soon from the Atlantic Ocean striking hurricane Florence looks like a nasty bitch, she will surely love that "eye candy" ABC News´ reporter guy reporting there, lol 🙂 Greetings from Northern Europe, Finland.

9. Well.. it's good thing they passed a law that climate science should not be used in forming policy in the state.. North Carolina didn't like science on sea levels … so passed a law against it.. *In 2012, the state whose low-lying coast lies in the path of Hurricane Florence reacted to a prediction of catastrophically rising seas by banning policies based on such forecasts* https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/12/north-carolina-didnt-like-science-on-sea-levels-so-passed-a-law-against-it

10. A TOURIST decides to stay. Unbelievable

11. LOL they gonna die! idiots!

12. first you ride out the storm…..then you ride out to the cemetary in a hearse…….the whole world believes that southerners are uneducated hicks, these assholes prove their point….

13. We going to see her in the news being rescued

14. Not until she has too, you will wait until u can't get out. Shame on you. Get your boat out pool life jackets noodles and floats. Bridge be closed soon, 83 ft waves have been reported already.

15. So why put your reporters in danger and them the stupid people that stayand put others lives in harm way shame in you!

16. I would stay too .

17. Who in their right mind would stay

18. 1:19 is what happens when you make shit up as you go along

19. Reminds me of a lady that toughed it out, and dial 911 when the storm came. No one could help her because there was hurricane outside! The house was washed away and she drowned. They did replay the footage of her before the storm being adamant about toughing it out. May she RIP!

20. I live down,in nc and I'm staying at home. Got my hurricane bud on stock. I'm ready FLORENCE

21. Is it worth your life? That’s the million dollar question

22. Good Lord they're acting like it's a category 5 it's a category 2 hurricane it's not that bad

23. Hmm…..gunna be a bit til itll happen.. But im fine…

24. fucking idiot

25. What disturbs me is that the state is only circus for little, they take advantage of the profit with purchases due to the panic of people

26. I understand ppl who stay. I live in FL and I have survived very well thru every storm. It's not comfortable but we come together after and get back to life.

27. All of a sudden I LOVE BUFFALO SNOW.

28. The coverage on the Hurricane is much appreciated. But the Reporters covering the hurricane are they safe being there?
