Well, depending on how poor they are, Did, they may not have a car.
I also worry about any elderly who may be too frightened or physically unable to evac. I hope NO has made provisions for those folks.
It was more a shot at the Fox newsbabe's "hotels sold out for SIX miles around New Orleans."
Yes, very sad about the shutins who can't get out, those who have lousy relatives who won't get them out, and the apparent lack of planning to effectively shelter or evacuate those persons (after how many decades of warning to prepare for this type of potential catastrophe?)
