If that is the case, then I do feel for them. The story as it was reported here in DFW was that they were trying to cut across the storm track before it hit, not that they were trying to get out of port before the storm hit. Those 2 different stories are very different. My feelings toward it were the same as those people who try to beat the train to the crossing. I feel for their families, but not them. I based my assumptions and feeling on how the story was reported.
