To: plain talk
If I read the official "State of Louisiana City of New Orleans Promulgation of Emergency Orders", Patrons of hotels, which I assume to mean guests, were not required to evacuate. Go figure.

Get into tall hotels for "vertical evacuation". You'll be safe there. (Well, for 99% of the hurricanes probably). Sad part is, the "officials" knew this was the 1% storm.

Pardon my FRench, but how the ... were these guests supposed to evacuate? There was no public transportation. Other than a few lucky ones you couldnt get a cab or rent a car. DElta Airlines sold worthless tickets leaving some stranded at the airport with no planes to take them out.

Take about classism. You act as though these people were rich and deserved what they got.
