I would evacuate the city at any cost when Hurricane Center issued the forecast of Katrina aiming on NO 2 days or more before disaster struck? Is it that difficult to figure out?

Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. EDT, 1 p.m. CDT, is when the first reports of NO being the target came across the wire.

The evac order wasn't given until Bush forced the Governor to give it. It was too late then. The Friday reports could hardly have been the basis for a complete evacuation of a major city. Only a clairvoyant would start evacuating 1.4 million people 3 days out. The hurricanecould have gone anywhere and been any strength by Monday morning.

Thanks for correction, actually they had more than 2 days to evacuate, around 60 hrs+
