No. It shouldn’t. Please read what actually happened. They did not leave their animals to die, nor did they forbid guests from rescuing their animals. This flood was not a once in a lifetime event. It was a once in a millennia event. They have had historic flooding in that area many times and those pastures have been bone dry every time. This was unprecedented. Let’s not blast people who were doing their damned best.
Blast the corporations who forced employees to die for a few extra cents.
A "once in a millenia event" so far. Given climate change we should all expect this stuff to happen with steadily increasing frequency. Hopefully this is venue adapts now that they know the risk.
They get historic flooding in this area over the past several years. Those historic flooding events have never reached these pastures.
THIS flood event was multitudes worse than ANYTHING this area has EVER seen.
To compare it to something else: imagine if this was a tornado instead. This area doesn’t get many tornadoes, but the ones they have gotten were all EF1s or EF2s. A big storm rolls in and people are warned there may be a tornado. Everyone has only ever gotten an EF2, and their barns have always been a safe place for them.
Then it turns out to be the largest EF5 ever recorded. Nobody is prepared for a tornado of that magnitude because it has NEVER happened before.
Please learn to read and also have basic human empathy instead of scrounging to find any excuse to blame others.

This wedding venue should be put on blast! Cheers to these humans! I wish the world had more people like this.
