I humbly disagree. Even if you think the people who chose to stay behind were stupid (and some of them were - most of them were not, because they had no choice) that does not mean they should not have your sympathy. They have still lost everything they ever owned, many have lost loved ones, and most will be ruined and homeless, possibly for the rest of their lives.
And by saying that you have no sympathy for them because you think what they did was stupid implies that you feel intellectually superior to them. In other words, you seem to think you have never done anything stupid. Since pretty much no one can claim that, I humbly suggest that you rethink your attitude. Even if you do something stupid, that doesn't mean I won't feel bad for you when you get hurt by it. Your lack of ability to feel compassion for those whom you deem to be not up to your standards is somewhat disturbing.
