& elect to spend the storm evacuation in a govt shelter area for safety
and survival needs??
it seems she had
nothing in preparation for a possible seige scenario,
no stockpiles of diapers or bottled water or canned foods, which would
have been a mandatory consideration (imho) before making a decision to ride out a storm
...and the most-assured cessation of services i.e. phone, elect, water...
which usually (95% of the time) happens for a day or even days or weeks
at a time, when hit by a huge hurricane
she made unwise decisions, it is not my or your or our responsibility
to give her a pass because she wants to scam the rest of us with
allegations of stranded & estranged children as a leverage technique.
if anybody else gets hurt from her ill-advised or self-serving predicument, then
that's just another ramification of her unwise, freely made, choices in life.
being a compassionate culture....i'm sure the authority will take into account all the mitigating circumstances...

Because life just isn't like that (the black and white with no grey areas in between attitude is whats left for complete idiots)!, if you have
children and are trying to make ends meet, the last thing you think of, is survival (at least in a disaster situation) in a future scenario.
