Reality, that's why! So many reports on just how fast the water rose, and how so many were left w/o ways to get away. Don't think it was a matter of "I have insurance so no problem". A number of these RVs were the only homes for those who lived in them. These people now have NOTHING. a "flash flood" by definition is one that occurs so fast escaping is dangerous. If I had to choose between getting my family out safely or taking the time to 'break camp', hook up the RV and increase the possibility of being in harm's way, I would also leave my RV behind.

By the time an RV owner realized his rig was in danger, it is likely he would be faced with impassable roads. This is no time for recriminations or finger-pointing or blame. As my Mom always told me: "Don't assume you know what the situation is for someone else. You aren't there!"
Very nicely said. :)
