This is not really the truth.
Truth is, people in hurricane country are dying 'cuz they never made past arrangments to evacuate when hurricanes threatened. Truth is, people in hurricane country are dying because they took no steps to prepare for the inevitable cat 4/5 that would eventually hit. They didn't stock food or water or meds or TP or anything. They just thought somebody else would come and cover for their irresponsibility. They live behind dikes, below sea level, next to the sea, next to a large lake and next to a river yet apparently few took steps to be prepared for a flood. Damn idiots.
They had time to leave and they didn't. They had many warnings about being prepared for such an event and didn't prepare. They are dying because they choose to be irresponsible. They played the odds, they lost. You think I got a bill now? No! Not me.
We are at war and the central government still advises all citizens to be prepared for several weeks without city/social/government services. Are you preparing? I see I probably don't have enough ammo saved up.
What good does that do right now blaming those people now? Of course it serves as a lesson for the rest of us, a BIG lesson, but they need to be helped and rescued. The looters should be shot and left for the buzzards.
