What are you talking about, the people got in their cars and left. The only thing the locals did is make I-10 westbound in both directions. They didn't do anything to evacuate the poor, the carless and the infirmed-- their base. The flooded out buses speak for themselves.

It is not my inclination to point this out at this time, but the Left unfairly jumped on Bush's throat, so I felt obliged to point out the local failures.

When the Mayor gets on TV and Radio and says, "this is the storm we have feared for years everyone need to leave." and from Saturday morning until the storm hit ALL NOLA TV and Radio were giving information on the storm and evacuation any one with any sense got out.

In the end the vast majority of the people got out before the storm arrived and the Greater New Orleans death toll will be as a percentage of population smaller than that of coastal Mississippi.
