its got to happen in any case, so the earlier they start, the better. how far do they have to shuttle the people to get them onto the buses? a few miles I guess?
For the answer google Dunkirt.
We need to consult with a few British veterans of Dunkirk. And getting fifty an hour out to me is better than zero.
Seeing as there are 250,000 small boats within 4 hours of New Orleans (to say nothing of 5,000 school busses) , not very long.
If there are 60,000 people to evacuate and if 20,000 are men, 25,000 are women, and 15,000 are children, and if women and children must be evacuated first, and if each boat holds 12 people, and if one woman must accompany each child, and if 1 National Guardsman must accompany each boat and if a boat travels at a maximum speed of 2 miles per hour and if the nearest high ground is 5 miles away and if there are 50 boats and 40 available Guardsmen, then how long will it for everyone to reach safety?
