The tourists had been in a hotel, high & dry.

They weren't desperate for food and shelter like the infants, sick & elderly on the freeways [many of whom died due to no food or water] and the Dome.

still wrong.

They need to maximize the results for the effort.

There were not "high and dry" they STILL take up relief resources. Now that they are gone. That means the others will have the resources once devoted the tourists. THOSE beds are freed up.

I do not thing anyone "died" because of getting the out of towners out of the way of those who need real help.

You should be blaming the mayor for not getting the tourists out of the way sooner. Key West, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, all clear out the hotels upon hurricane warning. This way stranded tourists do not take resources from residents.

Sorry but logistically this is 100% logical.
