If it was me and my family I would evacuated Tuesday. If you have a hard time communting on a average work day what do you expect during an evacuation? It's a large urban setting. If people didn't yield to warnings to get out by Tuesday then they are responsible for themselves. Can't blame public officals for an individuals poor judgement.
I believe in free will but the left will bounce on this one too. They are dead against the Patriot Act interfering with their lives but want immediate help from the government when they're waist deep in crap.
I think people need to learn self determination here.
Just as you posted this, they had someone on that said they had only moved 6 miles in 24 hours!!
Oh, hey...I'm completely with you. I grew up in Florida.
When that hurricane rounded Miami, I would have been out of anywhere in the Gulf. From the Coast of Texas to the Panhandle of Florida.
Same thing with Katrina. The minute they say Cat 3 or above, I'd be gone. With my husband, daughter, 2 dogs, bird, and every single important thing that I could pack in my car.
No way would I depend on anyone to "tell me" when it was time to go. Much less depend on someone to take care of me afterwards.
I'm not saying everyone can do that--I know there are people who need help. But anyone with common sense can look at that radar screen and see that monster coming for DAYS in advace.
