"Mobile homes" flipped
Appreciate the coverage, though calling 5th wheels and Travel trailers "mobile homes" is a bit off. RV Park Video

The point is that the young and wealthy had lots of choices and I am sure many headed out. I am also sure that many were not able to join the exodus if they wanted to. I guess they should be shot? Or at least ridiculed.
No one is ridiculing them or should they be shot.:R Wealth has nothing to do with it. It looks like you don't live in a hurricane prone state so you really don't know how it all works.
Yes they did inform these people how big this storm was going to be a week before landfall. They did give a voluntary evacuation notice at that time and told people not to stay and ride out the storm in their homes.
When you see those pictures of roads jammed up from 'previous' hurricanes is when people STAY TOO LONG and don't leave until the last minute. You did not see catastrophic traffic jams with Harvey because most left way before the predicted landfall.
2.3 million live in Houston
As of today only 8,000 rescued flood victims (who chose to stay)have showed up at the convention center.
That means aprox 2.292 million minus give or take the ones lucky enough to be on high ground and zero damage to their homes, heeded the 'advance' warning and evacuated safely, they are not stranded on a highway anywhere BECAUSE they had the advance warning and evacuated spread out over that weeks notice.
I live in Florida. The general consensus is if you choose to stay and not take advantage of the advanced warning that's their personal problem. Don't go complaining later and don't expect help during it.
Years ago we sent our fireman, rescue and police into harms way 'during' hurricanes to help the stupid that stayed.
Now 'Finally' the state says NO more. When the storm hits NO rescues will be on the streets to help anyone. Warning everyone that chooses not to leave they are on their own without out any help available.
This alone should encourage those to leave but they still don't. Again that is their personal problem. AND they alone are the ones that use up all the resources after the fact to get them out.:(
