Apparently nobody here has ever been dirt poor like so many of the people in the area. 2257-Ben is totally on the money! Look at the people who are still there. No Prada carrying soccer moms in Lexus SUVs, it's the poor, the old and the infirm.
If the city thought is was so important to evacuate everyone, why weren't they medivac-ing people out of the hospitals? If it was so important to evac everyone, why didn't they have busses at the Superdome to take people to Houston BEFORE the storm? If it was so important to evacuate these people, where was the government infrastructure to get them out? Not everyone has a car. Not everyone can walk 2-20 miles to the Superdome to get to help. Not everyone has a perfectly healthy family and a fully loaded SUV to get out of town. Not everyone can afford a tank of gas to sit in traffic on the highway.
What *I* want to know is where is Homeland Security? We have allocated millions if not billions of dollars to a new goverment organization that is supposed to be a first reponsider to major disasters. THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, HLS!!! Why is nobody responding? I'm in Washington and I could have gotten there faster with a truck load of bottled water than the government has.
Sad.
