I saw somewhere that they’re telling those who refused to evacuate, to write their name, address & phone number on their arm in Sharpie.
I remember years ago when they started telling people that, some couldn’t grasp why. I believe it was an officer who dead panned “So we can identify your body.” Boy, people comprehended quickly after hearing that.
