While you make good points and as a medical professional I’d agree, but as a Frum Yid I don’t. Chazal tell us not to judge others unless you’re in their place. They must have had a million thoughts racing through their mind. They are from the lucky ones, some stayed and didn’t survive. Anybody who isn’t/wasn’t affected by this storm should do whatever they can to help those who were.
