I don't buy that.. They always offer ways for people to get out. If the people really wanted to leave they would have been taken out by the police or social services.

I feel for the people who died but I don't have a lot of symphony them because they stayed after they were told to leave. I'm sorry but they knew it was going to be one of the biggest storms in the US history. They knew there would be mass flooding and wind damage. So anyone who stayed was a dumb fool IMO.

I saw the guys story and it was sad, but you know what that sad story could have been prevented if they would have left. I've been in a few of these storms myself and I have stayed at home for a few and there is no way in hell I would have stayed at home for that one especially knowing that the whole area was under sea level.

Look at all the rescue workers that are risking their lives to get these hard headed morons. I can understand staying in a storm like I said I've done it myself. But no way in hell would I ever try and stick it out in a storm like that.
