If the same terrible situation happened here, rest assured we residents would close our road, a public road, from wandering people The bridge was an OFFICIAL evacuation route. It wasn't a cul-de-sac. That's not even a valid comparison - the police force were preventing the lawful passage of people TRYING TO EVACUATE a flooded city.

The bridge was an OFFICIAL evacuation route. It wasn't a cul-de-sac. Then the time to use it was when the evacuation was ordered - on Sunday. When they decided to stay for the hurricane (or were forced to by their feckless officials) it was no longer a "hurricane evacuation route". The hurricane was over. It was a disaster access route, and they were an integral part of the disaster.
