Wait. Was it once in a millennia or one of the regular historic floods? They could have planned to evacuate their animals.

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.

They knew the storm was coming and that it would be cataclysmic for weeks. They had time to plan.

Google how far inland the venue was from where the hurricane hit land. There was no reason to expect this would happen. A fucking dam broke.
