He expressed doubt that enough people have taken this storm seriously enough after forty years of false predictions that the latest storm would be the one that puts New Orleans under water.

He said people will only pack up and move to safer ground so many times before they become complacent.

It sounded as though he was staying to ride out the storm. I heard him say up to 50,000 could lose their lives. I don't know if that is possible but what do I know.

Was listening to the radio this evening...One "expert" pointed out that many people do not own cars and are unable to move to higher ground.... An oceanolgist said he expected the majority of non sky scraper building would be completely submerged. My step daughter and neighbors are resolved that their homes will be a total loss....They're between the Lake and French Quarter.
