"Sorry you lost your house. Here's a $500 fine for making us come get you."

Somehow that just seems really awful.

Im with you if we want to go down that road do we start fining for neglegant emegencies? Guy falls asleep with a smoke in hand sets his home on fire fine him! 

I thought the whole  idea of property taxes was to fund services, do we not pay first responders for situations just like this? 

Tell you what eliminate my mandatory property taxes and I won't ask for your emergency services, didn't think so.

Please if I evacuated everytime the media claimed the storm of a lifetime was immenenet I'd have to take up partial living in an RV. I don't blame people that ignore all these warnings one bit. Unless you literally live on the beach crack a beer and enjoy the empty neighborhood.
