If I lived in a trailer park on the FL coast, and had a hurricane warning for twenty-four hours, I would be long gone.
It has nothing to do with the "media", and it's nobody's fault except those who chose to stay behind.
You called it. People need to take responsibility for their own lives. This will sound cold but there's no way I would've allowed my elderly granny to spend sit in her trailer during a hurricaine. I would've forcibly carried her out, put her in a car and gotten out. The sad thing is that some fool will try to blame Jeb Bush for this.
