These people who are stuck on the freeways are there because they didn't evacuate THEMSELVES earlier. Maybe the mayor is an incompetent jerk but the people of NO knew the storm was coming and they knew the city is below sea level and didn't leave until the last minute. This happens with every storm evacuation. If you wait till the last minute to leave expect trouble and delays.

Exactly why the authorities should have suggested evacuation earlier.

We all have different levels of trust for incoming information. This storm did blossom realtively quickly.
