- jacquesm 5y agoGood luck with that. You can't tell people a life long that their possessions and their future are entwined and then yank that away from them and expect them not to - briefly - be in a state of confusion. It's pretty easy to be all rational from a couple of thousand miles away but these scenes play out over and over again in the face of imminent natural disaster. Berating those people is not going to solve it, and I suspect as these stories become more common people will give up their possessions more easily once realization sets in that their attempts are futile and only endanger them. But we are not there yet, and in some ways that is fortunate. The time when that sort of feeling becomes more commonplace will be harsh.
