It don't matter. We can't win (anything) by being "coldhearted".
Hey. Did you ever ever think that a person may not be able to drive out of town?
Next, as a Florida resident I can tell you that the hotels and motels are usually full to capacity way ahead of a hurricane's landfall. Even if a person did have the money for a hotel or motel it's full-up. Understand?
Like, Where were the buses before the hurricane if the gov and mayor knew a cat 4 or cat 5 was coming?
