Honestly, given speed, size and weather I don't believe there are too many fingers to point. I know its human nature, but there was no loss of life which was a miracle in itself given the sheer number of people they needed to move in such a short amount of time.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and forest fires are going to become more prevalent. Sure you can blame people on preparedness but its not like they were going to stop this. I argue you have to be prepared and have a plan in place and monitoring to get such a large group of people out of the town in the time that they did. The response should be commended.
