The city did crap pre-storm.

On the Larry King Show tonight a Jefferson Parrish official said that between 200,000 and 300,000 of the 500,000 parish population was still there when the storm hit.

50% does not sound like a very good rate for for an evacuation.

Yet only ?50K? made it to the Superdome.

Are we seeing 150K people still roaming the city?

Or did the potential death toll just get way more awful.?.?

I have to question his figures.
