There were 100,000 people without cars in the city. Planners knew this. There needed to be a plan in place to get school buses into the city and get those people out.
Now they'll have to be taken out by boat.
Like I said, easier said than done when you dont live in the city and you are looking from the outside in
I just talked to onyx; she is fine in Vicksburg; no power, no nothing; can't make cell calls out but gets them once in a while.
Lots of trees stripped and down, but no major damage. at least at her house; she said Hattiesburg is devastated, according to the MS radio stations.
She's ridden her first hurricane and doesn't EVER want to do it again.
