so do we tell these people in the hotel, that they can just go to hell and die? they had the initiative and resources to save themselves.
Arthel Neville at the superdome. she drove into the city, then took a boat to the superdome.
If my specualtion is accurate (that FEMA authority is the source of commanderring their convoy), the choice is betweenn letting them and the hotel manage their own evacuation, or submitting to the duly constituted authorities.
My vote is to let them handle it themselves, assuming there was a roadway out - FEMA should be biased to get people out of the city, not trying to hold 'em in.
