I was streaming WWL and watched that interview.<

"I can't remember the exact words, but he basically shook his head, and said there was no way to evacuate the people. HE WAS ASKED why buses or cars couldn't be sent in, and he said, even if transportation was provided, the people would not go."

He said they WOULD NOT GO.
Then he pleaded with them to leave.
