Haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I will join the discussion. This storm was a Eastbank event for New Orleans, not an Westbank event. There was very little wind damage from the storm on the west wall, flooding was the problem. Since we are looking at possible transportation issues for those stranded at the Dome, see the image below.
However, besides hundreds of buses, there were many water towers that were unaffected, tons of trucking centers with available trucks (hotwire if you need too) and plenty of supplies in warehouses that had a dry route to the dome. Why didn't the Mayor/Governor use the resources available?

Gosh...thanks for all of that information...
we need to keep your post on hand in case there are hearings and the Mayor and Gov. try to say that they had NO recourse other than what they did....
THANKS again!

Fascinating photo. It looks like the west bank streets were dry. No drivers with valid union cards and commercial drivers licenses available I guess. / sarc

Have you added this photo to your collage? The streets are (and were) dry, on the west bank of the Mississippi.
