Here's an example of U.S. emergency services dropping the ball. It happens everywhere. There was also a Florida Nursing Home (elderly care facility) that had no power after the storm passed over. It was sweltering hot outside AND inside and the residents were suffering. The home tried to contact help even via the Governor's hot line and nobody replied - 3 different times. 8 or 9 people died. Now the state's blaming the home and the home is blaming the emergency services (Governor). It's an example of what can happen in that kind of situation. www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/14/550996932/8-die-at-florida-nursing-home-after-irma-leaving-a-host-of-questions |

I don't think any one is to blame for the situation some times the impossible is expected.... |

They were hopeful they would be safe, but did not prepare for the chance (a very good chance) things would not go well. Florida needs to revise the standards for such places. That one should probably be shut down. |
