This EXACT senario was predicted in a 5-part special report in the Times Picayune a couple of years ago. It's amazing just how close the predictions in the report are to the reality of what is happening now.
"Amid this maelstrom, the estimated 200,000 or more people left behind in an evacuation will be struggling to survive. Some will be housed at the Superdome, the designated shelter in New Orleans for people too sick or infirm to leave the city. Others will end up in last-minute emergency refuges that will offer minimal safety. But many will simply be on their own, in homes or looking for high ground.
Thousands will drown while trapped in homes or cars by rising water. Others will be washed away or crushed by debris. Survivors will end up trapped on roofs, in buildings or on high ground surrounded by water, with no means of escape and little food or fresh water, perhaps for several days."

Great find. Please post it as extended news.
Then we can have it documented on Free Republic before it disappears.
