I agree that Blanco cert appeared to be over her head. The point about the huricanne is this. We were quite aware of it 5 days before. However everytime a hurricane enters the gulf you cant exactly evacuate the whole LOuisiana coast. There is a period of wait and see. After the hurricane had left Florida. Agenies were being put on alert here in Louisiana. People knew to get out. To me all this talk about evacuations and mandatory evacuations is really meaningless. In the end people knew to get out.

That's exactly what my husband keeps telling me:) That would have had us evacuating at least every other week last hurricane season. LOL! Fortunately we did leave for Katrina.
