If I'm at work and the storm is approaching then I'm work's responsibility. They're to nourish me and shelter me.
Warnings were given for the storm. Food, blankets, candles, flashlights were necessities that should've been had.
The problem as I see it is that some people have that "it won't happen to me" mentality until it happens to them.
I'm presently watching neighbors who are NOT essential workers driving their vehicles during a travel ban
