This thread is the funniest thing I have read in a long while. But I am perverse and have a total weather geek friend who is just like the OP. But the OP, his replies, and the followup comments have made laugh and laugh. Sue me.

Unfortunately, I remember the pre-Andrew holdouts: “Bah, they always predict they’re gonna hit us but they never do. I’m not going no place.”
Scene 2, post-hurricane: “Where is the cavalry?!?!?!”
I watched some clown tonight on one of the barrier islands. “I’m not leaving until Frances is 75 miles out. My van does 90. She’s doing 8. I can out run her.” Yeah, that’s great when it’s 20 people. When you have 100,000 trying to leave that island it sucks. Which is why emergency services are currently looking for people stupid enough to stay - they want to collect IDs so they know where the bodies are.
