  • If I had the option to leave but I would have to leave all of my stuff I would because I wouldn't want to risk my life and get killed in a hurricane. And I could just replace everything of mine but you can't replace lives. If I could help then I would donate food and water, help people find their friends and family, and I would also clean up all of the homes that were destroyed during the hurricane.

  • i would leave just because of how dangerous the hurricane is and i would have insuarance cover the rest of the stuff that i had lost to the storm. to help the people i would go look for the missing people in the area that the storm hit and try to help get people to a hospital if they were injured so that they could be treated. 

  • I would definitely leave my stuff behind because you can buy everything that you lost, but you cannot have another life if you die. I would try and find the people that were lost during the hurricane.

  • I would honestly just evacuate. Losing my life over materialistic items is honestly not worth it.  I can always get them back and I would have help doing so. If I were to die its the end of the road.

  • I would most likely leave. If it meant keeping my family and I safe I would gladly leave my things behind, afterall they are just things. To help after the strom, I would send supplies and then join the search party. It would be a very sad experience but I would do whatever was needed to save lives.

    • That's right you can come back from a natural disaster but you can't come back from the dead. Helping people is so much more important then losing a few personal belongings.

  • Honestly I'd evacuate. It would be devastating if I had to restart. Buy everything from new. But if I stayed I could risk my life. If I was older with a husband and no kids I'd just risk it because I wouldn't want to start all over again. I'd go with all of our hardwork! As for helping out I wouldn't be able to do much but I would donate food, clothes and money if I had/ have it at the time. I'd do anything to help. 

  • If I had the option to evacuate I would have evacuated because all of my stuff is replaceable, but my life and my families lives are not.  If there was an evacuation warning issued it's probably because the storm is very serious and I should listen to the experts.  If I could help I would donate blood, donate money and go down to the area and help clean up and search for people and retrieve as much stuff as I could for people.

    • Yes, things are replaceable. If I had time to get some things that meant something to be then I would be fine. I wouldn't be as sad because things are replaceable but memories aren't. Yes, listening to experts is the right thing to do. That is something I did not think of... I would also donate blood.

    • Yes  life is not replacable and things are , I would help people if i was older but i have school and i have no way of doing anything to help , i agree.
