People have a fight or flight response, right? WRONG!!! They also have a third response. Freeze in place! Oh wait, maybe a 4th one. Denial. Like that ship that was taking on water, and the people in the dining hall even as the water was lapping around their feet, they sat there and kept eating their meals!!!

People either respond or they shut down. They can shut down both mentally or physically. If someone shuts down mentally, they'll just get on as if nothing is going on.

That is another reason the vast majority of people won't leave a city. They'll assume that everything is okay, or it was a 1 off occurrence and it will never happen again, so they can stay there and be safe!

Aren't people crazy?!?!?!?

most city people will stay where they are, why should they flee-its their home..right? even if they DO think about it they will leave it until its too late( no food in the shops, no fuel in the filling stations, power off, toilets backing up), most people will not even acknowledge there IS a problem until its too late.

another thing, if its this time of year and with the weather we've just had, travelling is not going to be easy, even if they've got a vehicle and fuel, the ground is absolutely saturated, the roads are wet, pools of water are everywhere, the first hint of even a bit of cold and those some roads and fields are going to turn into skating rinks!
