The news media sometimes has a tendancy to paint matters as black or white when the issue may be gray. People sometimes chose to not evacuate when the evacuation may be more hazardous than bugging-in. Its hard for us to judge their actions as we are not there. I'm not making excuses for those who may have indeed "ignored" the order.

Here in Florida, you may be under an evacuation order, but where do you evacuate to?? To I-95 to be stranded in traffic when the hurricane hits? To run out of gas in Jacksonville and be preyed upon by criminal elements? Fires are indeed a different animal and require different tactics. I just want to hear the whole story before conclude that its just Darwinism at work.

YMMV
