I was listening to one New Orleans resident being interviewed on the radio today.
He lent several of his neighbors $50 so they could buy gas and leave town.
Not everyone has gas money to leave everytime a hurricane warning is up.
And not everyone has a car.
And where do they stay when they have trouble even getting money for gas?
What if their car breaksdown on the causeway or only a few miles from home?
And meanwhile, their homes are looted while they are away, and they have no insurance because there's no money.
What do they do when they have no money?
Do you realize there are people hanging on to rooftops right now because they have no car or no money for gas?
They stayed home so that nobody would come steal their HUGE, flat screen, HDTV.
Friends or relatives with cars? There are 4 seats in most cars.
