Thanks for the great info. Added it to my armory of facts.
If you have yet to read # 34 and #54, do that.
Add the info in these two posts, combined with the National Weather Service warning Nagin to get the people out, combined with President Bush telling Bozo Blanco to evacuate and you can see that Numnut Nagin and the locals caused this disaster.
Also, the people were waiting in the city because welfare checks were about to be delivered, and Numnut Nagin did not assure then that they will be taken care of and to not stay in the city for the welfare checks.
