How can they get schoolbuses back into the bayous? What about all the prisons? I didn't hear the Mayor or Governor down there say word one about how or even IF they intend to evacuate the backwoods areas, of which there are many. Are there enough boats?
Knowing how fouled up the government of Louisiana is, I fear the worst as far as loss of life goes.
Did anyone see the news this evening where they said that many vacationers in New Orleans were foreigners and didn't understand that a hurricane was forecast for New Orleans. They didn't understand the need to evacuate. How sad!

Louisiana isn't that backwards. The poorest folks without transportation in harms way are in Orleans parish. The local people are good at taking care of those who need help. Granted the stereotypes makes us all look ignorant and backwards.
Don't know about the bayous, but I think they have to take care of the prisoners. I was just talking about the city of New Orleans, and the people who don't have cars to leave there.
Not at sea level.
