They didn't anticipate a flood trapping people there for so long. IIRC one post said the guard delivered enough food and water to the Dome before the storm for 15,000 people for one day.

Hard to believe. They knew a Cat 5 was coming and they had levees designed for Cat 3. They had been told over and over that there would be 10-20 feet of water throughout the city with a Cat 5. So there is no explanation for how they expected to move 30K people from the dome to a shelter with 10-20 feet of water in the streets. Plus it is unclear what shelter(s) they expected to move the people into for several months since they had bveen told the city would be trashed of rmonths with a Cat 5 direct hit. They had no plan because New Orleans is the "City that Care Forgot".

I read 15000 people x 3 days, plus the people were supposed to bring 3 days of food and drink themselves.

...so I have to ask. Is every building and home and roadway in CA ready for the BIG one?
