People who don't leave generally because they fear that if they do the govt. won't let them back into the area to protect/salvage what little they have left from looters & the elements. Add to the fact that the weather is in the 90's potable water is not available out of the tap and combined with folks trapped in their attics trying to escape the flood waters but with out any tools to cut a hole in the roof to get out of the attic the emergency workers will be finding corpses in attics for weeks to come.

One guy was interviewed this morning and said the reason he did not leave was because he knew for 100% certaiantity that his house would be looted by the neighbors-bad area.
He said it was gamble either way so he stayed and was rescued off his roof.
Must be terrible to live under those conditions/area.
