15. The flights were cancelled the day before the storm; those people
interviewed in the Yahoo news stories were LAUGHING, drinking and talking about staying. They never tried to get to the airport.

In the face of the most intensive storm recorded, don't you think that just maybe...people might have immediately made plans to leave asap? They had DAYS.

Sorry, I am mad...I was a paramedic, and the memories of the crap that we would get called out to do because of someone else's stupidity, or selfishness just hits me sometimes. My partner and I rolled the ambulance on black ice one night because of garbage like this; she was out for weeks with back problems...if we had had a patient, they would have died.

Too bad we can't just let the dumb ones enjoy the "real" Mexico!
