Having lived in New Orleans a good part of my life I know what roads you can and cannot take for an evacuation.

I-10 East- Goes straight to Mississippi and would slow the evacuation from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Bad Idea unless you want to kill many people in Mississippi.

The Causeway is 26 miles long and if you are still on the Causeway when a hurricane is approaching you, your family and everyone on the bridge would be dead.

I-10 West. Works very well.

So you are from New Orleans and yet you posted there is only one road out of New Orleans. Interesting.

I see you have done nothing for 2 plus weeks but post on Hurricane threads and defending Nagin. Do you work for him?

So how do you feel about those New Orleans cops who just fled in fear?

How about those cops who looted television sets?

How about Nagin ignoring his own plan and not using buses to evacuate people from nursing homes?

How about Nagin being on television for several nights when the hurricane first hit, instead of being in a command center?

How do you feel about Blanco refusing entry to the Red Cross and Salvation Army and letting people go without food and water in the Dome?

And you must be so pleased that Blanco refused to ask for federal troops for so many days. I wonder how many little children were raped and killed because she let civil disobedience turn into chaos.

Yes. I can see all your arguments about how much better New Orleans handled things than Houston. And I think you must be working for someone in the government in New Orleans.

And let me tell you, the corruption in New Orleans is the worst in the nation and it's been exposed for the entire nation to see and if you think taxpayers are going to just willingly hand over their hard earned money to the lousy politicians to mis-spend again, without some oversight, you're nuts.
