You are, thankfully talking rationally! Not emotionally! It's hard to see this happening and there is nothing we can do, but casting blame, on the powers that be, isn't helping. The sad fact is, evacuation orders went out, and most of these people refused to go. Even of those who decided to stay in hotels, had offers to get out and go to Texas or FLA, they said if they had to stay in a hotel and not go home, they would stay in the one they were already in.

Even the media were told they should leave. I hate seeing this as much as anyone, I wish they had all heeded the warnings. That said, I think more buses should have been loaded up, and NG trucks, to get people out that had no car etc, the first day they issued the warnings. Including the prisoners.

I used to live in New orleans.....watching the videos of destruction on wwltv.com leaves me feeling like a piece of me has died.
