Did you ever stop to think that some people did not leave because they were old, infirm or just plain poor? These people should have been assisted by the city and state in evacuating the city.

ha! have you ever lived in new orleans? I have....the city is mostly poor. There is not enough time to go door to door to get these people to leave.

Hubby and I were discussing that last night. Mandatory evac by the city should have allowed for use of the CITY'S school buses to get everyone out who did not have means to do so on their own. That is the ONE thing in hindsight I have been critical about, as much as I don't know not living there I can't speak for any other local measures. They had that option and I didn't see them using it in any news coverage.
