Look, all i'm saying is that the people that ended up holed up in the dome etc. didn't just happen to stroll back into town DURING the storm. They also didn't do that AFTER the storm. So i think they stayed b/c they wanted to, or couldn't afford to move, weren't notified in a manner consistent w/ the type of danger, they were forgotten, left behind, stranded, ignored... whatever.
The point is, whatever was done it wasn't done in a manner that convinced/forced those people to seek safety. That to me means that it wasn't done well enough. The end result speaks for itself in this case. For some reason, many stayed when they shouldn't.
"everyone you know" is not really a good cross section of the popluation since you're sitting at a COMPUTER on a porsche OWNER/ENTHUSIAST board- spare me the point that it's "your peeps"
