Many people who thought they'd survived the worst of the storm got caught up short.
Preparation should be prioritized over comfort when a dangerous and life-threatening storm is approaching. Lounging while dressed only in underwear is not a good plan. A well-prepared person could pack his/her backpack with necessities and then wear a pair of cargo shorts, hiking boots, and tee-shirt. They would be as cool as possible (under the circumstances) and still be prepared to evacuate if needed. Irresponsible preparation certainly makes things harder for the rescuers.
