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

They did not take any guns away from any of us after Andrew. The police
knew we might need them! Someone we knew of shot and killed someone who was
trying to steal their generator. The police came, took the body away, and
the people never heard any more about it. I did see on the news a day or
two ago where they disarmed people in a nice, relatively undamaged home.
They police left with the guns, but did not remove the people. I couldn't
believe they took their guns away. It did not appear they had threatened
anyone, but who can know for sure. I do not blame anyone who is not in a
flood zone and who has a house in reasonable condition for refusing to
leave. In another home they told someone they could not leave with their
dog and the person told them they would have to shoot both him and the dog
to remove them. I would not abandon my animals either.
