One sixth* of the 1.4 million did NOT own a car. That means 230,000 needed "public transportation".

That sounds about right. I imagine some of them managed to get out. In fact, most of the ones still in the city are those who did not own cars and could not get out. Even the stubborn ones who owned cars and stayed anyway, I'm sure, got out when the pumps failed and the lake poured in. It's really frustrating to hear people insinuate that these people deserve what is happening because they did not evacuate.

As I mentioned yesterday...there were friends of my step daughter who chose to ignor the warnings stay and have "hurrican parties". They were called "party poopers" for leaving early Saturday.
