The general public with information probably made it out... if they had the means and mode. The highly transient population of NO, the population without means and mode (which would include accurate information sources) would not make it out... or even to shelter. The self sufficient, like the cajuns on the bayous, don't really worry me. It is the vulnerable, the weak of the population. For crying out loud, your position is not unlike saying bowel and bladder control is self responsibility. Tell that to a baby or senior who don't have the ability to self control. There might be diapers and depends, but do they have means and mode to access them?
Bump!
