Since you are so smart and resilient, why don’t you go and volunteer and teach those people how to survive?
Going camping in 30 degree weather is no comparison to a flood. You have obviously not been through a flood and thus are ignorant of the effects it has on a human mind and body.
I was in a flood in August. It was hot. I cannot imagine going through all that in November.
We had a Vet here. The most wonderful, caring person you’d ever meet. He cooked for us for two weeks. One day he didn’t show up. We found out that he was in the hospital. Mental breakdown or something similar. He couldn’t handle seeing all the destruction and what people had to go through just to get back to normalcy. Maybe he had some sort of flashback.
Unless you’ve been through a flood, you have NO CLUE as to what those people are experiencing.
Not everybody reacts the same way, but I'd bet just about all those who scoffs at the people at the cutting edge of this disaster have something they imagine they couldn't deal with ~ just ask them.
Still, some folks are simply built different ~ nature doesn't play this 'born equal' stuff ~ that's best kept in court.

My family’s lived on the Outer Banks for over forty years, through more hurricanes and devastating storm surges and such than you imagine. We’re seafaring stock that’s lived and sailed and fished along the East Coast going back many generations on both sides. Don’t tell me about having a clue. The clue is to be realistically prepared and to be tough, and these idiots in New York were neither.
