New Orleans had a population of about 500,000. If 100,000 stayed behind and 30,000 were in the Superdome, where were the other 70,000 and why have we seen no pictures of the subsequent mass exodus of the remaining 70,000? About 480k population (but I don't know how many tourists. There was also another 20k or so in the convention center. Maybe that makes for "the remaing 30,000 instead of 70k. Still a pretty big group of people. I also heard of people in hotels in the unflooded areas like the French quarter. They probably made it out slowly over time, rather then as one big mass exodus. neworleans.areaconnect.com
