If each bus could transport 40 folks (maybe more), that would have been 7,600 folks moved out of harms way...and the trip only had to be about 10 miles northwest.
So...figuring 8 round trips per bus, that would have removed 60,800 folks from harm's way.
Not a bad effort....of course, it didn't happen.
Just listening to Michael Medved and it has been reported that buses were dispatched to neighborhoods, cars with loudspeaker driving around announcing where the pickup points were but very few people were willing to take advantage. Why? Because the majority of those who stayed were staying to collect their government checks which arrive around Sept. 2nd..........
