Agreed. Belle Chasse airfield is close, they could be getting every C-130 in range to come and pick people up.

the Mayor on CNN now - saying buses are running to take people to the superdome. How many people do they think they can put in that superdome? I mean, I know it holds alot of people, but not to evacuate any percentage of a city.
