On Sunday they said, If a Category 4 and they were expecting a possible 5 hit, it could wipe out New Orleans. That was Sunday. Before the storm hit. Plus they knew the levees was only secure enough, guaranteed, built for a category 3

I do not blame Bush at all. He was the major reason for mandatory evacuation. He can't dictate to a state.

I do think the Local and State Government has some of the blame. A big part, as they didn't have a plan. They didn't get The State's National Guard out quick enough. They left those people with no communication.

I live on Long Island. If a Category 3 is predicted as a big probability. I'm out of here. I've done it in the past.

They might have said it, but they didn't believe it. There is a difference. If they believed that the city would die, they have reacted differently. Because they didn't really believe that the levees would fail and the city would die, they did not plan for it. I don't care how you spin it now. No one expected the levees to fail.
