Why didn't the Gov of Louisiana do this earlier?
I didn't know the president could do that?
Because she is a moron.
In folowing with her pre election campaign strategy,she doesn't know what to do but, she is going to form commities to study what to do.
She actually said this about the states problems, and NO still elected her!

Gov. declares state of emergency as Katrina heads for Gulf Coast
2theadvocate.com staff report
Gov. Kathleen Blanco has issued a state of emergency for Louisiana as the latest projections for Hurricane Katrina have shifted west to include much of the state's coastline as possible locations for landfall.
"Hurricane Katrina poses an imminent threat, carrying severe storms, high winds, and torrential rain that may cause flooding and damage to private property and public facilities, and threaten the safety and security of the citizens of the state of Louisiana," said a release from the governor's office.
The state of emergency extends from Friday, Aug. 26, until Sunday, Sept. 25, unless terminated sooner.
I was just looking at http://www.wunderground.com
Found this entry on Dr. Jeff Master's blog:
New Orleans finally got serious and ordered an evacuation, but far too late. There is no way everyone will be able to get out of the city in time, and they may be forced to take shelter in the Superdome, which is above sea level. If Katrina makes a direct hit on New Orleans as a Category 4 hurricane, the levees protecting the city will be breached, and New Orleans, which is 6 - 10 feet below sea level, will fill with water. On top of this 6 feet of water will come a 15 foot storm surge, and on top of that will be 20 foot waves, so the potential for high loss of life is great. Given the current track and intensity forecast, I'd put the odds of this at about 20%
