I'm with you on the cat lady.

I'm also with you on the Superdome thing to shelter the indigent. (Though they will be evacuating the Superdome also shortly now.)

It's just a thing. If my least trustworthy ghetto neighbors decided to stay, and there was a chance the storm wouldn't be so bad, and more than a chance they'd loot my ghetto house, I might try to stay on my porch with a shotgun too.
