From the link you posted:

Mr. Judkins is one of the officials in charge of evacuating the Hampton Roads region around Newport News, Va. These coastal communities, unlike New Orleans, are not below sea level, but they're much better prepared for a hurricane. Officials have plans to run school buses and borrow other buses to evacuate those without cars, and they keep registries of the people who need special help."

Great. But hey Howlin, are you ready to eat crow yet about your insistence that the city buses were planned for and used to evacuate the citizenry OUT of the city of New Orleans prior to Katrina's arrival?

A poster, early on, noted the many buses just sitting there in the water, and said: "There was no plan to get the people on buses out of the city."

You quickly and shortly replied back to the poster:

"You are wrong. They used city buses."And a little later insisted: "There were buses picking up people all over the city."

You have NEVER backed up your claim or offered that YOU might be WRONG, despite subsequent questions to you regarding it, and were clueless on where those city buses went after they evacuated the citizenry OUT of the city. You offered nothing else to your claim.

What the hell are you talking about?

They most certainly did use city buses all day Saturday to evacuated people from neigbhorhoods all over NO. There were 10 collection points in the city to pick them up.

And since you're acting like such an A$$, I'll return the reply: it's completely bad form to drag arguments from thread to thread.

And with that tone, I'm not offering JACK CRAP to you. You sound like a bitter person.

Great. But hey Howlin, are you ready to eat crow yet about your insistence that the city buses were planned for and used to evacuate the citizenry OUT of the city of New Orleans prior to Katrina's arrival?

I dunno, a report I read that the city mayor of NOLA said "everyone is on their own" when a hurricane above CAT 3 is barrelling in toward NOLA. Pundits, experts, and the National Geographic Magazine all said NOLA, from the levee's to the Democrat mayor were ill-prepared for a hurricane higher than CAT 3 as it is.

Have you kept up on Katrina, via FR threads, or did you mainly watch CNN ?

Howlin is correct and you're not looking too good. There have been several threads posted to FR about several years old NO escape plans, should a disaster strike. THE BUSES ARE IN THE PLANS!

Now, if I, who am on vacation and not on line all that much have seen and read this here, what's your excuse?

Have some crow...it's cold, but that shouldn't bother you. :-)
