Alot of them had no transportation. Some were just stupid.
We talked about this at work, alot. They had a total of eight days warning
that a class 5 hurricane could hit them, right in the nose. Even with my bad
bad back and knees, I could have walked out of there in time. Maybe not eight
days before, but 3 maybe 4 days... yup.
walked where? if you have little or no money, and no transportation,
where are you going to go?
