that takes the cake for stupid

Pretty much on par with the "professional" surfer who died trying to surf Irma in Barbados, eh?

I do agree, but understand why someone thought they needed to try.

Supposedly, they were only going to be contained like that for a few hours. Yet, since so many roads are now almost in gridlock, that could be questionable. Of course, this was a couple days ago (I think), so they may have been able to get out of the area pretty quickly.

A lot of stories about people trying to find help to save their animals to the ones like the guy who put his most important chickens in mesh bags to hang from rafters in his barn.

People will do anything to try and save their pets or livestock. Even if uncomfortable for awhile.

I had pet carriers to put my ferrets in if there was ever a reason to leave the house in a hurry. When our house caught fire, there was NO time to stop and transfer ferrets from cage to carriers. I just dragged the entire Ferret Nation cage out the back door. As it turned out, the fire was so close, it burned one of the hanging "pocket keepers" on the back side of the cage. Taking it out the kitchen door broke off all but one of the caster wheels.

But I got all eight of them outside.

Oh my! That was really close.

Dear Lord, I just saw a video on CNN where some people in Key Largo are planning to ride out Irma in their sail boats.... What are they thinking?????

Pure insanity!

So fast, I couldn't get back inside to get our cat or another ferret in my bedroom. Lost them. But all humans in the house that morning (12 of us) got out safely. Feb 8 2007 - Snow, ice, had been 10 degrees or lower for days.

People are just plain stupid! A sailboat? Really? Haven't they seen the movie, the perfect storm?

Well, maybe that saying is true "You just can't fix stupid." - smh

I could see getting out of dodge with like a catamaran yacht and sailing to somewhere not affected before it's close. Also to save your multi million dollar yacht... but that's a problem I'll never have.

I heard that one of the cruise ships was going to pack up all the employees and head out to sea also. Can they get far enough away... fast enough?

Yes, you gotta think, the storm is going at 14 mph right now, the cruise ship usually travels at 20 knots, probably... Which is about 23 mph.
