we were watching GMA this morning and one hero lady who stayed behind to help people made her case that not everyone has the ability to leave due to lack of transportation, money, nowhere to go to, etc. She was pretty steamed at media types who had been critical of those who wouldn't leave.
and the GMA hosts picked right up on that and agreed with her.
i'd think if there was a mandatory evac order in place, there would be gov't services available to help those who needed it. No?
