As someone who has a relative over whom the storm's eye passed, and from
whom nobody has heard since, I have to agree that:

(a) many people were foolish not to evacuate when they had the physical
and economic ability to do so

(b) the government agencies haven't done their job either.

IMO, the fault is shared by each person and agency, including those who
have talked for years about improving the levies but have not done so
because of the admittedly high cost. But if you choose to live in an
area where the danger is obvious....
