I have a hard time understading the people who refuse to leave. I suppose, as Doug said, if I had running water and electrocity and stuff I'd be reluctant to leave. But the thing is, even if you're okay inside your own house, the situation outside your house is not okay. Never mind that nobody is going to have a job to go back to for a very, very long time - basic services are just not functioning. There's just no reason to stay.

Of course, I wouldn't have lived there before the hurricane, either - and specifically because this was bound to happen eventually. That city was a disaster waiting to happen, whether the executive branch of our federal government admits that or not.
