It just p*sses me off more everytime I see the images of how stupid and dependent on the government these people were when they were warned DAYS in advance to get the heck
out of there. It is just disgusting!
Failure of liberalism at it’s finest, but they get to blame Bush.
Not including the masses of people who evacuated from the parishes surrounding New Orleans, 80% of the city's population of 412,000 evacuated before Katrina hit. Depending on where they lived, those people were not allowed to return to their homes or businesses for three weeks or more.
There were also people who were evacuated after the storm. Many of those were relocated to different parts of the country and some, due to financial problems and/or lack of a place to live, have not as yet been able to return.
Sometimes it seems to me as though some people do not realize that New Orleans would have been destroyed even if every single person who was living here at the time had evacuated. No matter what else, the city still would have been flooded and over 200,000 home and business properties would have been wiped out.
