"Nobody was stuck. Tourists could have gotten cars to leave, could have gotten a plane before the airport closed, could have gone into the superdome. If they had legs and a brain then they could have walked from the Quarter to the dome."

Prayers up for their safety as well as those who tried to ride out the storm.
