We invited all our mobile home friends over our house to help them through the storm, to save them the expense of evacuation to a motel or inconvience of a shelter (shelters really are like prisons). We also went to the elderly in our neighborhood, to help them move their furniture.
Lots of people did this in FL. Fortunately it didn't really hit us in Tampa. Instead of criticizing, I hope people got out there to help.
We are doing the same thing. Just got finished helping a neighbor cut up two downed trees.
Now if I can only figure out how to get half the neighbors tree off my roof I will be happy.
We really didn't get clobbered like they did 80 miles north of us.
