We live in a land of freedom, which in times of crisis also brings out our inhumanities and stupidity. Not all of us will stay in a place where the water is over our heads behind a levee. Some had no choice. It is also impotant to note.. I belive you country has what we call a monsoon season,so your know the water to a sience. The incident in the south was unpredictable, the odds of it hitting the same spot are astronomical. but I do agree the people were told ...why did they stay?
