I guess if you want to credit the Mormon's success in that hurricane to getting their own people out ahead of the disaster. Those who weren't LDS were left behind to experience it. And the feel good stories about it aren't all they are made out to be.

And you don't even have to look to South America to get closer to home.
The Book of Mormon is allegedly for the Lamanites and the Mormons have understood them to be American Indians right in the United States. The highest poverty levels in the US are on reservations. The Mormons have turned their backs on them.
