Sixteen people from one family flew to TX today already from NO. They are scared, don't want to go through another. Maybe they will leave this time.
I vividly remember hearing Bush say this; It made an impression with me. It was very unusual to hear a President tell citizens to evacuate their city.
And in the weeks/months before Katrina; it seemed the Discovery Channel was airing the segment about the doomsday scenario that New Orleans would face with a Katrina like hurricane.
And that warning that Bush gave, was always in the front of my mind as I heard everyone whine about the “slow response” from the Feds.
