They are easy to get away from if you are on the mainland. If you are in let's say st croix before Maria hit you had less than 24 hours from category 1 to category 5 with less than 200 plane seats leaving the island. Tell me again how it's easy to get away? Even for the people of Puerto Rico that had 4ish days notice it's not like there are enough flights for millions of people. I mean even tourist that were willing to pay A ton of money couldn't get seats due to availability and everyone was trying to get out
