New Orleans officials called a mandatory evacuation. And they did use buses to ferry people to the Superdome. But many wouldn't go. It's just human nature to believe that the worst case won't really happen to you, especially if you've lived through four or five false alarms already.

If anything's different now, it's the belief that government/charity ought to be on the scene immediately (as it largely will be, in the form of the Coast Guard, FEMA and the Red Cross).

In the old days, people knew they were on their own.
