"They could have commandeered 1000 school buses and moved people out of the superdome on Tuesday."
I was talking about school busses from OTHER parts of Louisiana, like Baton Rouge. It's only a 1 1/2 hour drive by I-10.

Portions of the Interstate 10 high-rise bridge over the mouth of Lake Pontchartrain east of New Orleans have collapsed. Another bridge, the causeway running across the middle of the lake, has structural damage, and engineers are inspecting U.S. 11, which also crosses the lake, to determine if it is structurally sound.
