BS Deo. My daugher started driving Saturday morning when the gas lines started to form in the city. It was more than 24 hours later that the city was told of a mandatory evacuation.
My point was simply that an offficial hurricane WARNING was first issued by the Nation Weather Service at 10 PM Saturday evening.
There were hurricane WATCHES issued earlier than that, of course.
I don't know when it became apparent that the hurricane would be Category 4 or 5.
The earlier watches specified Category 2 or 3.
And the Mayor should have ordered an evacuation long before Sunday morning.
I'm not trying to defend the mayor's actions.
Or the governor's.
They were extremely negligent, in my opinion.
