I can't help but wonder that if this had been a 3rd world country where the people were used to fending for themselves that these people who did not evacuate would have just pick up their family and WALKED out of town. I realize there was a storm coming but if enough people had started walking I'm sure they would have found a safer place to ride out the storm and not been trapped then. I've seen pictures on the news of tragedies where people were evacuating in other countries and there were droves of them walking for miles. Yet here - people just stopped and waiting for a handout in a sense. Have we created a nation of wusses who can't stand on their own two feet?
