Before you ask why storm victims didn’t evacuate despite warnings of catastrophic flooding, please consider that many folks don’t have cars, have no family or friends to stay with, can’t afford gasoline or hotels, don’t dare risk losing their jobs because they can’t return in time, can’t safely evacuate their elderly loved ones, won’t leave without their pets, or they have legitimate health concerns about staying in shelters. Poor shaming them during a catastrophe is not a good look. #Debby
Totally agree. Everyone needs to mind their own business. Folks will live with the consequences they’ve chosen.
@LnzyHou Not for nothing, but I used to volunteer at our county animal shelter, and they set up storm shelter facilities ar two of our four county storm shelters for folks with pets who wouldn’t otherwise leave home. Sadly, shelter experience wasn’t always great. Norovirus ran rampant as did drug problems. If you’re sheltering with small kids or the elderly or anyone immune compromised, that’s risky.
