Horse already out of the barn. They should have enforced a mandatory evacuation before Katrina. It's a logistic nightmare now because bridges are out and there's flooding and they don't know who didn't leave because they didn't find out ahead of time. I'd hate to be stuck at the SuperDome.

I think they need to clear out the entire city before they can get a handle on the size of the disaster and begin to fix infrastructure on one hand while handling individual needs with the other.

They need a staging area for the infrastructure crews and everyone else should head to Baton Rouge to stocked shelters and medical facilities. But, I'm just a freeper. I"m not a democrat governor or anything like that.
