While there are roughly 200 shell shocked people meandering around on what is left of Bolivar, I am not completely comfortable chastising them for their lack of preparation. However, I have serious concerns about people who do not have the sense to get out of the way of an enormous hurricane while living on a barrier island.

There is also a possibility somebody is going to end up being a meal for a hungry tiger.

It is ridiculous that the state and FEMA go through the foolish dance you describe when they have had so much time to coordinate and put supplies in place.

The other big dance is thousands of dramatic airlift and boat rescues--for the survivors. I suppose it would be a great story to tell your grandchildren if you survive the storm...at great risk to first responders and great cost to the rest of us.

Is there really a tiger loose on Bolivar?
