3. This is a massive disaster

And to make it worse...it's First Monday Weekend in Canton. It's the HUGE flea market that happens the first Monday of each month. People come from everywhere and get into the area the weekend before the 1st Monday. Which is now. Most likely all the hotels are already full of out of towners and there will be a shitload of RV's all over. So there will be no hotels for locals to go to if they need shelter.
They will need many, many Red Cross shelters and aid.
