The question I posed remains the same for those who want to play the blame game: At what point do you order a mandatory evacuation of a major city if you are in charge?

In this instance, first thing Saturday morning.

Thanks for asking.

That is, of course, when some parishes ordered mandatory evacuations, and the voluntary ecavurations began. Whether it should have been mandatory versus voluntary is perhaps a reasonable discussion, but once the evacuation is ordered people need to pay attention and take responsibility.
