Broussard (Jefferson parish prez.) gave a great explanation of what mandatory meant. He said you will get NO services from anyone. You are confined to your house and it is a sort of house arrest. If you leave your house, you will be considered a suspicious person since no one is supposed to be there.
I suppose he could have made it stronger by saying "if you dial 9-1-1 no one will answer" and "suspicious people could get shot" but I think he made his point.
WDSU team is dead serious in their coverage.

Crying Broussard who said his mother “drownded because the cavalry never came”?

He said more or less that in the early part of his comments. He said, essentially, “if the wind’s still blowing, we’re not coming to get you”.

Sounds good to me. They have to have curfews and threaten people that are wandering around, because they can’t very well mandate that everyone leave, exposing their property to the looters that stay. I have to admit I am surprised that the Superbowl is not available as a shelter this time.
