Fox News Channel: "The poor are effected hard, who can't afford a hotel room, which by the way are booked solid for 6 miles outside of New Orleans..."

More FNC quality at work. And of course no one has ever survived living out of their car for a couple of days...

People don't have to afford hotel rooms....schools always open gyms, etc for evacuees. Last time they evacuated Savannah IIRC they took the poor and/or elderly people to Macon on school buses (I remember some of them were grousing because the buses weren't air conditioned.)

Well, depending on how poor they are, Did, they may not have a car.

I also worry about any elderly who may be too frightened or physically unable to evac. I hope NO has made provisions for those folks.
