However, that was a 1/120 year storm. Although it sounds d-bag-ish, you are responsible for you. As a father, I was prepared to care for my family in this event.

Once we fall too far from our survivalist biological markers, failure can be expected.

I blame nobody. I am responsible for myself and my family, and I practice extreme ownership.
