People have been stocking supplies and boarding up their properties. Many have followed the evacuation protocols and have left the area. Still there are others who have decided to stay put and ride out the storm within their residences or with others.
One individual, Tina White, a Charleston resident made the comment to ABC News “As long as it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be Hugo, we try not to go anywhere.” She evidently considers Hurricane Hugo in 1989 as the “benchmark” to deciding if they will evacuate or stay.
These are the types of decisions which must be made during an expected natural disaster as Dorian. However, many people face much more devastating “storms” within their lives on a day-to-day basis. One such major situation that many are facing today is the opioid addiction that is so prevalent.
Other “storms” that people have to face are illnesses, crime, violence of many different types, just getting older, financial difficulties, and family issues, just to name a few. How people deal with these situations varies from person to person. Unfortunately some don’t deal at all!
Some prepare very little as they do with a hurricane warning. Others decide to wait and see what happens! Some duck their heads into the proverbial sand and hope that things work out for them. Many simply do the best they can and then wait to see what others can do for them.
However, whether we want to admit it or not there is a “great storm” that is coming upon us all. This is going to be the wrath of God! The Bible tells us that the great day of God the Almighty is very close at hand. Who will able to stand against his might and anger? What would we need to do to be prepared for this coming event? Is it possible to be a survivor? These are questions which need our immediate attention. These are question for which we must find the correct answers and prepare accordingly.
