Ain't nobody got time for that.

before the oil people came the population was 2000, now it's 80,000. Probably half of them have a family elsewhere and don't have a lot of stuff.

Knowing a fire is coming, why then would anyone leave their vehicles behind? Do so many have defunct vehicles in their driveways?
