Dilip-da,
I think your analysis is very correct. Esp about the pictures of cars still in NO under water and people not leaving town. There are some victims coming to DC and a friend from college has asked for volunteers next week for Red Cross. I hope to do something to help.

The first group is the majority since you can see in pictures that a large number of cars are still in the city under flood water .

_______________________________________________Umesh,There are two reasons for the able bodied people staying behind.Some did not take the warnings seriously despite the Louisiana governor "begging" people to leave New Orleans. I read the story of tourists flying into N.O. on Saturday just before the hurricane landed.Others did not have the means to leave - no cars or no money for gas.The first group is the majority since you can see in pictures that a large number of cars are still in the city under flood water .Anyway, Texas as a neighbor is doing all it can by opening all large public places to the victims. Many Houston businesses are also hiring some of the victims to let them settle in Houston. The Houston Mayor estimates there are 100,000 victims sheltered in Metro Houston. Read today's Houston Chronicle to find out about the effort in Houston -http://www.chron.com. Houstonians are doing as much as possible, through donations and volunteer work.Dilipda

Seems there is much more to people's intelligence than mere school level education - since nearly ALL are literate in US and have money enough to buy TVs and hire buses to leave the city. Still about 100,000 remained in the city and thousands are supposed to be dead.Umesh

Federal Response: Government Saw Flood Risk but Not Levee Failure
By SCOTT SHANE and ERIC LIPTON
Despite all the warnings, Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed the very government agencies that had rehearsed for such a calamity.
