Did you see that lot of buses that were covered in water? I wondered why they did not use them to evacuate people. I also wondered about cars being sold. They were destroyed, too. They could have used some of them too, especially large vans which could carry more people.
I have wondered since Saturday why that mayor in NO did not get those people out of there. He seems to have lost his ability to direct any of the recovery efforts. I haven't seen him on TV since Sunday. Why? They should have used whatever mode of transportation to get people out, cars, buses, etc., I think they thought they would be spared again and relied on poor planning by previous people to do nothing. There have been a few emergency planning people who said on Sunday that it would be chaos--why weren't they listened to? That Mayor and Governor will show up only to take credit for what Washington had to ultimately do for them.
