I hadn't even thought of blaming the victims, and fortunately I haven't read others doing so, but I know it does go on. For one thing, I think people are too scared to think that such bad things can just happen to anyone, which would of course include them, so they literally add insult to injury. This happens with chronic diseases and disabilities as well as disasters.
I think it's really funny that the map lists "Mormons" in the one area that isn't marked for some other kind of disaster. Maybe G-d really did tell them to move there!
