They didn't have fatigue over Dennis. We were heading home from vacation and drove (very rapidly) through there last month with Dennis biting our back tires. Some areas were starting to flood but there was zero traffic. They didn't heed the warnings then, why should they this time.
We will see how many paid with their lives for not heeding the warnings. Up here in the North East we get blizzard warnings and some people do not pay any attention because the media has a habit of sensationalizing the tiniest snowflake, as a result a lot of people find themselves stranded on the highways because they weren't smart enough to heed the warning and most importantly not smart enough to look out the window and judge how fast the snow is coming down. People have to pay attention no matter how many times they've heard the warnings. I would think a life is more important than ignoring warnings.
