One of the problems with evacuating your home ahead of a storm is that the police never want to let you go back there. They always set up road blocks and tell people it's not safe. The storm blows over and most people just want to get back to start cleaning up and assessing the damage. But they always want to keep you away from your home until some government bureaucrat says it's okay.
Just how far will they go to keep you from putting yourself in danger? Well, in the aftermath down in Florida, police are using tazers to keep some citizens away from their homes.
