Yep. There's all those shuttle buses lined up nicely waiting to be used.
I thought of the city commandeering school buses for an evacuation, but I wondered where they'd get all the drivers.
I'm sure that the normal drivers - otherwise normal folks with families - had more immediate things to do than drive a big high-sided vehicle in 100mph winds.
With enough foresight I suppose they could have crosstrained police or National Guard to drive them but with turnover even that would be a daunting task.
No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
