Did you actually see the photos of the evacuation? They shut down interstate highways carrying traffic heading into New Orleans, reversed all highway traffic so only traffic heading out was allowed. They call this "contraflow." Started at 4 p.m. Saturday, continued through Sunday. By Sunday afternoon, there was no gas to be had in New Orleans. No rental cars. No airplanes. No room on the buses. It took 8 hours just to get onto the Interstate heading out of town. 27 hours to get to Houston. Three old people that were on a bus headed to Baton Rouge died of dehydration before they even got there. 90 mile trip. Remember, Katrina was a Cat 1 when it crossed Florida and went into the Gulf. Anyway, where do you put 1.5 million people (that's the number that live in the metro area). What would Seattle do if someone set off a dirty bomb in the harbor, or North Korea or China hit you with a bomb?
