the government is set up to protect us from ONE ANOTHER, it is not set up to protect ourselves from ourselves (although sometimes it attempts to). It makes no sense that these people had warning well in advange to get the heck out of dodge, but didnt. There were buses supplied by the gov't for those that couldnt afford it. It all reverts back to Darwin's theory, survival of the fittest, and those who stayed didnt any excuse for staying there.
