LOL! I actually kind of feel sorry for the guy. I don't think I could handle such a situation.
He's got the whole Federal government and the military behind him ..after the decision to evacuate. He only had to have the common sense and the spine to listen to the experts in the weather field and not quibble about legalities or liability issues .. just saving the precious lives of his citizens. What you're seeing now is the meltdown AFTER the realization that he gave the order too late.
I'm guessing that this man will probably end up with millions of $$ in his pocket by the time this is all over in 2-3 years or so, and will likely rival Jesse or Al for Victim of the Decade. And he'll probably be voted back in for many terms, until he decides to take his fortune and "spend more time with his family."
I don't feel sorry for someone who is corrupt and incompetant as the mayor NO.
