Consider Miami Dade with Andrew.
 
I don't know why you are a liberal apologist.
 
But I do know that when people want to do something they can and will and if they do not want to do something or anything they will wait for the handout or bus-ride or helicopter ride.And blame the President when the handful  (bus's copter's) doesn't come.
 

I know  how many people moved out and I know how many are left. I have been on this for a while.  All  I'm saying is that I believe that NOLA's leadership could have done more.
 
Check out these FEMA Damage Assessments:

http://www.gismaps.fema.gov/2005pages/dr1603.shtm
 
It's worse than we could imagine...
 
One of the assessment sheets shows 287, 000 people displaced because of the levee breaks.
 
If you add up  the sheets Thats over 500,000 PEOPLE needing evacuation. not black people not yellow people not  white people but PEOPLE
Not Democrats or Republicans, not hindus baptist or catholics but PEOPLE.and their elected leadership let them down in the first place by not really emphasizing the gravity of the situation
 
I'm done

Thanks for the FEMA Maps. From these it would appear that my mom's house and other properties were not flooded. It is the best data I am the 16 LA kin at my house in Austin have seen in a week.
