>.......or that given the conditions, Nagin did a great job of evacuating the city of NO? Eh, no he didn't. He had the buses, didn't use 'em, could've done more. I disagree. Tell me where he was going to take the people in the yellow buses......that's assuming he could get them on a bus in the first place? The shelters were filled up. The people had no money for motels. And its clear they would have encountered all kinds of racism....that don't make you feel all warm and fuzzie when you're trying to escape a hurricane. You have to be in a hurricane to know how you will respond. I suspect I wouldn't go no matter how mandatory the evacuation was. People are freaking out because they left their pets; others because they won't be able to get to their houses for weeks. I bet you that no other city that's evacuated will top 80% even after what we've seen on tv in NO.
