I have a nosy question... if some of these people are caught without funds, between paydays- whatever the reason.. are there funds to allow them a tank of gas and the price of a motel room down the road? I'm just curious as I've never had the misfortune of facing a natural disaster (Thank God).

I wouldn't think so ..I've never heard of such a thing, but I'm not certain. At this point, a motel with a vacancy and the gas bill to get there, eat and hopefully return after would be a pretty penny. The mayor said it's for the people I mentioned .. and the people dependent on public transportation. That's who would most likely be bused to the Dome.

He or any official can't just walk away, dooming these people to certain death. It's gonna be crazy there tomorrow .. panicking people, dozens of transport runs, short fuses and bodies to accomplish this mission in time, and a lot of discomfort.... but it's better than alternative. I hope there's no crazed mobs clamoring for the excursions to the Dome, and that there's room for all who need it. That place will be nuts... the cops are gonna have their hands full, I'll bet. They waited too long, IMO.

I also have a hard time believing this is the first time NO has been evacuated for a hurricane.
