Glad you posted that Hott, I saw it over the weekend along with the NO evacuation code where they say that they use those exact buses to evacuate the elderly and poor who can't get themselves out. The problem was that the hurricane was not that bad of a hit on NO it was what happened the next day. Anybody read a paper last Tuesday that said "New Orleans Missed" or something to that effect? The levees broke Tuesday and they had some working water until Wednesday the local gov't thought they were through until the systems couldn't keep up then the disaster started and the media jumped in saying they should have all been evacuated after the hurricane that took out the bridges to Slidell leaving two roads out of the city, the causeway had flooding and damage on the north end so that leaves only one main road to evacuate people with to the west which is what was done. I don't understand how someone could stay in there house while water is rising in it that's beyond my understanding but they did and there's still 10,000 people who refuse to leave, that's right 2% won't leave and they are all that's left of the city after 1 week of busing 100,000 people 50 at a time.
