As for the hurricane comment about the warnings and such.
If you live in ANYWHERE ON A COASTAL LINE, You're warning is when a tropical depression is formed. I lived on the Mexican/Texas coastline for 7 or 8 years and we got hit by many a hurricane that shifted against the prediction, but none of us were surprised. Hurricanes are like tornado, you can't stop where they turn but common sense is, if your in any kind of potential path AKA coastline, you best just get out of the way.
Many people that stayed in Lousiana actually chose to stay there as long as they possibly could, hence the mass chaos right before the literal storm hit. It's much like how the captain wants to go down with the ship, through hell and high water they were staying until the end.
Saddly half of them bailed, caused the roads to clog up and caused mass traffic jams in almost every major city around lousianna. It wasn't a meterological warning they needed, it was a chronological one. They realized they had to go after it was too late.
Just because a hurricane doesn't normally hit that hard in that area doesn't mean it won't. Always be on cover. [/HURRICANEWARNINGRANT]
Oh and..
Big assumptions here ... people lived into their 80's in the past. In fact Jeanne Clement smoked and contradicted medicine to live until 122. Your Gaussian rhetoric tries to fit the bell curve on everything. Plain and simple.
Unne's right. I actually had an elderly lady come into Macy's one day and told me that she never imagined she would live to be 80 because very people did back when she was a child. Even with out medication, some people, like that 122 year old person for example, just have a better immune system, which would not be affected by smoking or medication-neglection.Originally Posted by Dr Unne
