Fats has a driver - I knew him when I lived there
But, even if they could not drive, they should have gotten on the bus and gone to the dome. That they did not has stalled the rescue attempts of the elderly and disabled who truly could not leave their homes in time. As for the jobs - the entire city was shut down as of Sunday - few if any businesses were open. So, I do not think that was a factor for more than .01% of the people who just thought they could ride it out in their houses.
