I saw a photo of about 30 school busses partially submerged. They looked like brand new busses! I wondered why the H didn't the governor order the use of school busses to evacuate ANYONE who wanted to leave NO and didn't have the means on SATURDAY!!!!
There is NOTHING I own that I would risk my life to save, weathering a Cat 4 hurricane. The looters could have it. I just CANNOT imagine being trapped there in that giant toilet bowl right now. I'd lose my mind!
From the LA Times 9/1 -
New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin said Wednesday that more than 100 buses were staged outside the city for today's evacuation. He had asked officials in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La., to send all of their school buses — about 500 — to New Orleans. If all of the buses make it into the city, Nagin said, the Superdome could be cleared out by nightfall today.
