MAYOR CRITICIZED EVEN BEFORE LEVY BREAK. National Hurricane Center Director had to call Nagin at home Saturday night to plead: "Get people out of New Orleans." "The criticisms of Nagin came from above as well. Numerous officials urged him to evacuate the city, but he worried about the legality of ordering people out when New Orleans has few safe hurricane shelters. Also, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield in Miami called Nagin at home Saturday night and told him: Get people out of New Orleans.

''I could never sleep if I felt like I didn't do everything that I could to impress upon people the gravity of the situation,'' Mayfield said. ``New Orleans is never going to be the same.''

When a grim Nagin issued the mandatory evacuation order Sunday, he said: ``We are facing a storm that most of us have feared . . . God bless us.''

''Let's watch. Let's pray. Let's leave,'' Jefferson Parish President Aaron F. Broussard said. ``I'm expecting that some people who are die-hards will die hard.''

flew out the friday night before the hurricane hit.There was plenty on tv there warning about the hurricane. Looking out the hotel window,there were lots of people by the pool and that whole last day of the trip,we flew out 6:30 ish pm,i never heard nor sensed any concern about the hurricane. Even the cab driver going to the hotel didn't bring it up in conversation.
