i think most unprepared people would sit still thinking it will all blow over. most think this is america and it can never happen, so if it did, at first theyd assume it will blow over. the trick with these scenarios is you have to get out at the right time or you won't be able to get out (though being in loveland is a hell of a lot safer than denver). sitting around for a bit isn't a bad idea, but its a bit dangerous, you gotta make sure you don't wait too long. id try to get out asap and check back periodically to see if it blew over. living in denver id be too afraid id get stuck here and be screwed.
