Re: Hurricanes/Evacuation -- can we attempt to avoid blaming the victims?

9. Sorry. I meant to include the sarcasm emoji.

I just had never heard of someone who had chosen to ride a hurricane out on a boat. Using "favorite" was a bad word choice on my part--"interesting" would have been better.

I don't wish him or anyone ill. I was questioning his judgment, given the results I've seen on television and other media of what happens to boats of any size during a hurricane. The only ones I know of that have remained untouched are those who have been moored at marinas far inland, and I got the impression that he wasn't in that position. It sounded like he was located on the Inland Waterway.

Once it's underway a hurricane is like the biggest roller coaster at Six Flags -- you can't stop the ride and get off in the middle.

I wish him and his boater friends good luck.
