Not that I don't have sympathy for this mother, but why in the hell didn't everyone just leave prior to the storm making landfall? If you were located within a mile of the coast, get OOOUUUTTTT!
Especially with two small children.
In the days before this storm, I believe they said a 10-12 foot storm surge was possible. As soon as people knew they were in that right quandrant of the hurricane, it would've been time to hightail it out of there.
