    There will be about the same consequence as the Amazon warehouse that wouldn’t let their employees leave during a tornado. Nothing.

      There absolutely were consequences. A longer-than-it-should-have-taken investigation was done from which they discovered that killing your employees is very naughty and were told that they shouldn’t do that anymore. In return, Amazon made a very sincere “whoopsie-doodle 👉👈, I sowwy. But we didn’t directly kill these production assets, so no harm no foul.”

      That matter isn’t settled yet but my guess is that Amazon will ultimately settle out of court for a lot of money. With that said a Tornado is a different kettle of fish than a flood. The warning time for a tornado is usually measured in bare minutes, sometimes when you’re lucky you get 20 minutes and even then where exactly are you going to go?

      Floods like this one though had HOURS of warning and there’s positively no reason for employees to get caught like this. There was more than enough time for these folks to get a known safe place. It’s despicable.

        Hold up, those plastics aren’t gonna do whatever that place does by themselves. The owner probably only has one or two vacation homes, should he or she do without? He pulled himself up by his bootstraps, illegal immigrants, gas stoves, Elon musk is a genius, aaaand I’m spent
