How many previous times have they been told to evacuate because the "big one" is on it's way, only to have it fail to materialize or be catastrophic?
It must be one big pain in the ass (not to mention costly), to pick up and evacuate leaving everything behind.

This was labeled category 5, the highest they go. Only a moron would think it's a false alarm. They had a few days to evacuate sick and crippled people with all the buses that are sitting in a flooded parking lot plus the regular city transit buses.
Healthy single poor people in N.O. should have been long gone. I'm 45 and can still run a ten minute mile and with a few days head start I'd have found dry land before the storm hit...
The city is at the 40% poverty level from reports I've read. What exactly were they going to leave behind?
