It would behoove all of us to remember this is still the recovery period after the storm and to proceed carefully until all the storm damage and debris removal are finished.
Excellent points...and a breath of common sense.

Besides, it's not like the gates offer any real security.

And as far as golf carts darting across the road in trying to time the gates being down, so that they're not inconvenienced a few precious seconds...just wait until there are no vehicles coming.
