The whole argument of being too poor to leave or having nowhere to go doesn't make sense to me either. Catch a bus, find your friend who has a car, drive your own car, for christ sakes, go camping. Fuck, I do that for fun. The people who were trapped in New Orleans choose not to leave. Not that I think what happened to them was justified or anything, in fact I think it's really sad. But the fact that they were warned and told exactly what was going to happen weeks before it hit means they either didn't believe it or didn't care.
I know if the weather service and local government told us that a hurricane was going to hit Phoenix with the force of Katrina, I sure as shit wouldn't hang around to see what happens, especially if I had children.

Here is a true story of some of the people who tried to leave:

You are a great "arm chair leader"; the events on the ground don't seem to sink into your head.
Where the fuck do poor people go???
The huricane warning was for all neighboring states!!
Were they suposed to walk to Oklahoma or something???
Catch a bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, find one that's not already packed to the fucking gills!!
And finally, the people who stayed were actually correct because the huricane totaly missed them. The huricane hit in the next state and flooded the river there know as the Fucking Mississippi River. The river then flowed back to Louisana and flooded the place after the levees broke.
There would have been no disaster what-so-ever in New Orleans if the levees had held like they were built to.
The people who fled Louisana and went to Mississpppi got hit by the fucking storm. Meaning that some of them simply fled to their deaths.
