Man who did nothing to prepare for hurricane feels vindicated

Kill Devil Hills – A local man, Harry Clark, felt rather proud of himself for his lack of preparation for the oncoming hurricane. While his neighbors were securing their trash cans and yard furniture, he was shaking his head saying, “Not yet.”
“I feel like procrastination paid off this time,” He explained to the Report, “I was a little hesitant to hesitate after how unprepared for Tropical Storm Hermine I was. My garbage can blew over and it was all over the neighborhood. I had a branch go through my window too. It almost made me regret staying out at the bar until one in the morning the night of the storm. I just have to keep reminding myself that you never know how those things are going to move around. I been down here 42 years, and I have seen ‘em swing out into the ocean or change their route and go into Florida. I read the fine print on that weather channel website. It says the hurricane only stays in the cone 60-70% of the time. That means a third of the time my doing nothing is the right decision. It’s not a good strategy when you look at the numbers, but it feels good, just like being a Redskins fan.”

  1. My sentiments exactly. Why prepare for retirement when you don’t even know if you’ll live long enough to enjoy it?
