I think that number is too high. That would mean that 100,000 people could be evacuated in one trip. The estimates I've seen was that there were 200-400 buses that were drowned.



There is about 1,600 school buses in Miam-Dade County, would it not be realistic to think there would at least be a fleet of 1,000 in Nawlings plus the city transit bus system!??!

If the order had been given early enough, and the state had a real evac plan to take folk 30 to 60 miles north...to high school gyms with cops on hand...and simply ran buses constantly for 48 hours...then everyone in town would have left either by bus or their private car. THERE WAS NO PLAN. We must accept the fact now that this one town, and one state...were totally unprepared for such a event. You can blame folks going back 40 years for never taking this serious.
