About every 10-15 years a major huricane hits the continental US. During my military career I was involved in setting up temporary housing in the US for three different natural disasters and a couple of man made disasters. We set up tents after Andrew, after the floods in North Dakota, and for people relocating after the volcano erupted in the Phillipines. People aren't "forced" to live in the shelters, they're provided for people who don't have other options.

OBTW - I also live in Florida.

The normal shelters in the past, no doubt, no one is forced to live in them. The question I have is will FEMA have the authority to force non-willing civilians to relocate to these cities. It's an open question that no one from the government has been willing to answer.

I was in the Florida National Guard (in Miami) after Andrew, rank of Captain. Was it YOUR unit that had the 12 M-16 rifles ripped off by the gang? I thought that was hilarious...especially after one of the little snots rolled up to one of my road blocks and asked if we had "bullets" 'cause them dudes in the red beanie hats didn't! So my 2LT racked the slide on his 45 and said: "Why don't you come find out???" He promptly declined and disappeared. LOL
