The time to organize a total evacuation is *before it's needed*. No plans were made to evacuate those who couldn't get out on their own. > The majority of the people there now are people that chose > to "ride out" the hurricane for whatever reason they had. Not true. Most of them were too poor to get out. No car, no money to hire one, no place to go, no money for a hotel if they could get out. The bus station shut down Saturday night. Some of them were sick or elderly. <snip> > I think the poor of New Orleans that had no > transportation need to look at their local leaders and ask them why > there were no plans to get them out. They're doing that already. In Mississippi, too. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
