I do know that many of the people could not escape the city because they did not have the means. I can guess that they didn't pay attention to the rise in gas prices because they were busy trying to stay above flood waters. I know I would not be able to look away as my life, along with everything I owned or remembered, drowned. But those who did reap the benefits, I imagine, counted their profits. They surely marveled at how much money could be made by extending their vacation by another day, or maybe two.
