Bush called Blanco to ask her to order a manadatory evacuation, Blanco said. Whether she did order it I don't know. That radio news clip didn't bother to mention that. I just got up. I don't know why they don't have fleets of buses and send passenger and freight trains in to drive folks who don't have cars up to Alexandria. It seems rather obvious to me. NO may very well end up a death pit.
Dear God.
the only buses the mayor mentioned - are taking people to the superdome.
many of us saying the same thing - the transportation effort is totally disorganized - plane flights cancelled, no buses, no military airlift - the only thing they are doing is saying "get into your cars". how many people are going to run out of gas in those massive traffic jams?
