Re: What, no one is interested in watching the corn grow?

Yes, but if they have a home that is repairable (as one man with a lovely
home and possessions had) they don't want to leave because they are afraid
what they have left will be looted and/or destroyed. After Andrew we had to
be sure someone was at home all the time to protect the property. Now the
ones who have nothing left, I can't understand why they won't leave, but if
there is anything worth salvaging they have good reason not to abandon it!
And don't tell me that the people in doing cleanup won't help themselves
given the chance--at least some of them. If they forced me to leave I would
take pictures of everything and threaten a law suit if I returned and found
anything missing. Believe me, if you managed to save things from the storm
you don't want to lose what is left!
