It probably was safer, seeing some of the pics of carnage on the telly (though they include stuff blown onto railway lines). But at the end of the day I don't think you can really blame the train companies for taking the safer option.
Loads of people will have pre-booked stuff, it's just one of those things. I often make a choice to have a non-refundable hotel room to save a few bob but there is always the risk that something unexpected will impact.
