I'm stunned. I keep saying that, but between the strength of the storm and the criminal stupidity of the mayor, I almost (but not quite - LOL) have no words.

the criminal stupidity of the mayor

I heard the following on a tv stream around 3 a.m.:

WDSU Channel 6 TV reporting that N.O. mayor says he cannot call for a mandatory evac due to a legal technicality. He would order it, if he could.

News commentator clarified the reason in his live report: For the area mayors/officials to be able to declare a mandatory evac, they have to have a place to put people. [Since they don't have a place to put that many people, they are prohibited from making the declaration.]
