A Shield Against Hurricane Florence
RE: A Shield Against Hurricane Florence

I don't mind people praying, as long as they keep preparing and are ready to evacuate. After all, having faith does not mean that you can cross a road without looking at both sides first.

What really bothers me is all the problems that have come up in previous evacuations like New Orleans with Katrina, or South Florida with Irma last year. We have to figure out better ways to do it, especially with people who cannot leave on their own.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
