Call me cynical or unfeeling but seeing the reports of people being rescued after deciding to NOT HEED official warnings to evacuate makes me wonder. Why call them victims when they chose to be where they are? The real victims as far as I can see are those that end of risking their lives by having to go in and find the "die hards" that choose to stay put. I think that if people are told that they should find shelter elsewhere should do so--or be charged a fee for their rescue. Not unlike having an ambulance take you to the hospital...
For the ones that chose to follow the warning and evacuate, help should be given to them FIRST, they are victims and should be helped. As far as the others, staying behind when forewarned? They should be aware that they choose and sometimes they lose.
