It would have taken too much to time to organize a convoy of buses. And, believe me, in NO, it would have been pure chaos to organize one. It was reasonable to offer the Superdome as a shelter of last resort.

Well, they should have been thinking of it. "K" didn't go Cat 4 until Mon. As of Sun., was still Cat 5 with no foreseeable downgrade and you [Mayor] know your levee improvements only have Cat 3 specification [per ACOE] anyway. City leadership wasn't thinking "contingency", they were just pulling a chicken bone and wishing. "Nobody, but nobody, was thinking of busing people out then. You would have been laughed out of New Orleans to suggest it."
