     From what I remember, the people who died in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina were mostly the ones dependent on public transit. You absolutely cannot depend on public transit in an emergency.
     
     In SoCal, you can't even depend on the bus to get you to work on time.

     @lnxw37b2 @sapphire @RustyCrab Yes but you can ride a bike out faster than a hurricane moves. Not so with these fires.
     
     Also hurricanes have lots of warning you have time. They are not at all comparable. Just speaking as once who has evacuated many times and been through many storms.
     
     Fire is way more scary fuck that.
