(21,057 posts)shortly after. The point being, many people who are big DEM backers, and want the pres to win, still get too worried about this stuff and post what the right wing is insinuating here. The facts are that the pres put FEMA in motion immediately, and there's only so many thousands of workers to go help hundreds of thousands of people, and it'll take a few days, but surely these people who stuck around knowing they were told to leave bought $50 worth of water and crackers and tuna snack packs, chips, candy, etc knowing they might be in a world of hurt by staying in a mandatory evac zone. As I said elsewhere, not saying they're bad people for not leaving, just saying they should have some supplies if they were wanting to tough it out. Otherwise they will be helped soon, or already have been.
