One of the anchors on The Weather Channel asked a person that is currently in Galveston why they decided to stay.

They replied that they wanted to surf the waves the next day!

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”
