Thank you for the info. I was wondering about this very issue. Couldn't people who had no means have gone to a local police/fire dept or perhaps church? I they said they had no means to get out, I find it hard to believe they would have been turned down. (Yes, I know. Anything is possible. They could have been turned down.)
I think in the NO situation, the people who had no means to get out were encouraged to go to local shelters; public transportation bused them in (to the SD for instance).
It is a very sad thing,but most people have to have the hell scared out of them to convince them to get out. If Blanco and the Mayor had started getting people scared Friday night this would be a whole different ballgame. There are people that still would not leave,but a lot more would be alive if they have been more Alert and responsible. I heard many people say they thought they could weather this like they did the others,and they named all the ones they survived.
