Agreed. Lessons learned - nobody got the nursing home people out. Maybe forced evacuation was in order for some of the other people. It looks as thought they will have to go there anyway. There should have been buses available for people who wanted them. Much of this tragedy was highly preventable. Those that chose to stay should have sent their children away. Above all, they should have been working on the levees.
