Sometime before 5 pm Friday,, the governor issues a state of emergency for Louisiana

I suppose she was just kidding though. After all, nobody took this seriously, right? The following evacuations were just for fun as well.

"Diddle E. Squats?" I guess he should have told people to "Get OUT of the city" in an even more stern voice, and wagged a finger.

I honestly don't know what more you can do, as a city official, than tell people to leave.

***I honestly don't know what more you can do, as a city official, than tell people to leave.***

In a city that faces almost CERTAIN Destruction from a moderate direct hit??

Well... A plan to use ALL assets to evacuate EVERYBODY out in 24 hours would have been a start. THEN if they choose not to go, so be it. Get names of next-of-kin...

Having a plan to return emergency assets within hours of the end of a storm....

Sticking 30,000 people in a potential Deathtrap, without food, water and facilities, including medical, is NOT a plan...
