I'm confused as to just what that lady at the diner thinks you did wrong there. The weather isn't under your control, you can't help what the wind destroys or where it blows the debris. And you're not rescue personnel so you weren't obligated to go out in the storm and put yourself at risk to clean it up. A lot of folks wouldn't have.

If anything the world could use a few more like you, and a few less like her.
