You wonder, do they think? When I saw that I thought
*Stupid Tourist*.

I think people gauge response to personal circumstance. In other words, if their home wasn't damaged, or someone in their family didn't die, then it was all hype or overblown coverage. Yet, I find it interesting that these are some of the people who boarded up their homes and businesses and evacuated. The arrogance of people fascinates me ....

The media warned the public all weekend long - the ground is saturated and we can't handle an inch of water, let alone a foot. Water will rise and streets will flood - but that didn't stop the thrill seekers out there looking to have "fun".

You can always count on the stupidity of people.
