I am encouraged by the humane reasoning and decisions being made in North Carolina as Hurricane Florence approaches land in the U.S. It is my understanding that different decisions were made in Florida when that state experienced multiple hurricanes. Kudos to North Carolina for protecting its citizens!

Society is interesting. Everything on TV nowadays is sexual related (porn/realty stars/look at the idiot TV sisters/porn stars/sex changes). Yet, we have murderers, gang members, drug dealers and pristitutes who can use the sehelters, but yet a guy with a misdemeanor conviction from 20 years ago will be vilafied! Wow

I’m not sure why they bothered to bring up this subject. This news story was very short with no helpful information. I had this same problem when the Northern CA fires raged through my area. It was the largest fire in California’s history, but us registrants had no place we could go.

While SC has been hospitable to registrants who are in life threatening situations and can seek shelter for preservation of life, NC has not been so hospitable during this hurricane as noted on another SOL website. However, there seems to be more info now through this news outlet that NC opened their minds up to registrants who need to seek shelter in preservation of life:

Have to wonder at times what is the overall thinking of NC when it comes to times like this…
