******The other question is why didn't these people leave when they had 4 days advance notice? If they couldn't afford to leave then go somewhere close that would have been safer...I know, I know, I don't live there and wasn't involved, but, as an outsider looking in, that is my thought. In fact, I had this exact conversation with a friend of mine 2 days before the storm hit...and made the same comment then.*******


Virtually all of those ppl left behind who couldnt leave are living from pay check to pay check,,,, some have NO $$$ after paying the bare necessities,, so just how do you propose these ppl leave?? It takes $$ to do anything these days,, esp to get to an area that was even remotely safe from the storms path.... and where was your ever powerful Govt thru this all?? Being idiots and not sending buses that could have prevented most of the human suffering......

(Yes,, there were those who stayed who had the means to leave and they are indeed dumb butts)
