Did they think it was just going to go around them or something?
People make irrational choices around their health and safety all the times, if it means it’s going to hit them in the checkbook, unfortunately.
They're ok. Yeah, I guess they just wouldn't give up their vacation, no matter how much my aunt begged. The place is undamaged, but without power.

Thank god they were vaccinated.

I mean this being a vacation makes their decision very odd but there are plenty of rational reasons some people may choose not to evacuate for a hurricane.

Skipping from category 2 to category 4 in a couple hours is totally normal.
