They just want to be tough and have the appearance of Serious Men. That's why they're carrying a gun around in a storm like this.

should people be driving around right now?

I guess if you're first mistake was to stay in the city and you are very low elevation then driving is probably a good plan to get higher, unless you drive directly into deep water

I mean come on

Yes, but here's the thing: these guys aren't meteorologists. Like, at all, whatsoever. They're disaster-porn livestreamers, and while we can appreciate their reckless disregard for their own lives, their reckless disregard for the lives of others is a much tougher pill to swallow.

levees around the protected area or whatever seem fine, it's the pumping capacity that won't keep up with prolonged heavy rainfall on only backup power

Cops showed up, normally even the pigs during straight up hurricanes are out to help people stranded like that. I would never trust that to always be true but that is nominally why they are out there during the height of the storm.

If it's the White Ditch one, that's outside the area they reinforced after Katrina. They expected it to probably get overtopped.

If my life needed saving I wouldn't put it in the hands of people with so much disregard for their own, you can't expect someone like that to make any right decision
