Parent not taking the warnings seriously.
Neighbors not opening their homes in an emergency to a desperate mom and her children.
It was a tough storm that, despite dire warnings early on to BE PREPARED still took people by surprise. This family got caught, and the woman made not just one, but a whole series of mistakes, considering other posts from the area. She paid a high price. I cannot fault the home owners, however.
My thoughts and prayers are with all those suffering up there.
She had already abandoned her kids and was alone when she tried to break into the guy’s house. If she had been trying to break into my house, in the middle of a storm when no 911 response w as available, then I would probably shot her dead.
