Americans would have whined to emergency services to get them out of the flooded areas, and on the way to a high school gym on higher ground, they'd start filing complaints that they weren't being temporarily housed in the Best Western... then their fat lazy arses would have demanded debit cards and blamed the government for allowing them to buy homes in a flood plain.
