With the coming Gustav storm about to hit the gulf coast, people from the area were ordered to leave. Neighboring states have offered shelter for these poor souls:

Gulf Coast residents fleeing Hurricane Gustav began arriving across the state Saturday.

The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency reported that as of 6 a.m. Sunday, 2,255 evacuees have checked in at Air National Guard bases across Tennessee.

Of those 2,255, 1,404 checked in at Memphis, 577 in Nashville and 274 in Knoxville.

But not everyone is awaiting the evacuees with open arms. A commenter of WBIR.com had this to say:

CharterVol wrote: Put them on a next plane out. They are not wanted here.

Is this that great volunteer spirit I keep hearing about, but not ever seeing?

UPDATE: The offending comment has been taken down. (Screen grab)
