"You guys defending this Mayor amaze me -- he had NO plan and without being forced by the President's announcement not sure he would ordered evacuation. I have heard him several times during the day and think less of him everytime. Too much of this is not going to hit New Orleans by this Mayor to suit me."

Well I will defend the mayor because the previous mayor...mayor Morial was a crook! Secondly, the other night before going to bed katrina was a cat 3 and then this morning its a Cat 5! That wasnt expected. Also, how do you prepare a plan for a once in a century hurricane for a city that is BELOW sea level? Simple, you cant. Thats like complaing about the mayor of Los Angeles when a 10.0 earthquake strikes Los Angeles.

I give you permission to complain about the LA Mayor, site unseen.

The same time it was annouced it was a CAT 3, it was announced it was heading for New Orleans.

And still they did nothing.
