[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 199529, member: 27"] A similar thing happens around here in hurricane season. A storm goes through and knocks down power lines, blows tree branches and debris into the streets, and takes off roofs, etc. The first responders, power companies and police have to BEG the locals not to go out driving/exploring. Those officials are out trying to get power back up and pull hurt people/pets etc. out of wreckage--you know, 911-type emergencies. They don't have time or patience for "saving" looky-loos who go out and get stranded on washed-out roads or drive onto naily boards, etc. and flatten all their tires. It's like they all want to invent more work for the people already overworked and exhausted trying to get things back to normal. [/QUOTE]
