Ridiculous, should have been sorted out 10 years ago, IMO.

Okay.

Purrs for everyone in danger. I heard that people were being told to
write their names on their arms so their bodies could be identified,
OMG.

Wow. That's totally incorrect.Â* I have been watching the news on many
channels and the National Hurricane Center online.Â* Keeping an eye on
the storm.Â* Nowhere, at no time, was anyone told to write their names
on their arms in case they were found dead.Â* Where did you come up
with that piece of misinformation?!

Well, perhaps the BBC is wrong, but I saw it on there.Â* I saw an
American, sherriff sort of person say "put your names on your arms" on
BBC news.

Cannot speak to what you saw on BBC, but I saw a Facebook post the
other day illustrating how to
put your name and address on your pets leg in case they become separated.

It seems to me quite possible that some official told people to put
their names on their arms because those were people who had refused to
evacuate, and he was trying to scare them into doing so.


Maybe so, Joy. If 5 feet of rain was coming, I wouldn't need persuading
to evacuate with my cats.
