Instead, the tourists - blah blah - tried to cross a huge bridge blocks away.
Not that I would find myself in the same spot, but.
Tourists had the means to get out. They didn't. Then when told to go somewhere, they assumed they didn't have to, and went somewhere else.
My sympathy isn't the greatest, and it makes me wonder about the cops and the fact when you have tens of thousands of people to feed and house, why someone thinks they are more important than others.
But then, I guess no one thought what a force five hurricane would do.. They were turned back when another group trying to cross began to threaten the officers, said Whit Herndon, 32, of Jonesboro, Ark.
What means are those? Flights were canceled, rental agencies ran out of cars. Most tourists could get out, and most did, but I don't doubt that some were legitimately stranded.
"Tourists had the means to get out." Uhhh, no. Some, perhaps, but most not. The airlines quit flying before most could get out, rental agencies quickly ran out of cars. To their great credit, many hotels tried to sustain them, but eventually they too were overwhelmed.
