I have heard quite a few people today say they should have left and not ridden out the storm. They didn't think it would be this bad.
I also think that was the mindset of the local officials and now they are overwhelmed. I think that is why there is so much confusion.
The look on the face of the lady in Charge of the state police was alarming. She was definitely a deer in the headlights, and she was in charge. When asked by the reporter where these people need to go she had no answer, nothing!
