Many of those in Florida were elderly, but with a week warning they
still should have been able to request assistance evacuating either from
the state or their relatives or for that matter the management of some
of those retirement communities. Even those who specifically chose to
remain did nothing to prepare like filling a bathtub or containers with
water or insuring they had an adequate supply of their medication and a
way to keep it cool if needed.

Yeah, all those folks in the nursing homes who died really
should have been out there filling sandbags before the levees
broke.

Might have kept them high-n-dry for an extra three minutes.

Quite true. Seems the Demorats let em drown. But then...they are
pretty good at letting people die.
