Probably should have posted this here instead of the Live Thread:
What with all the Democrat revisionism flying around, I've been reading the earlier Hurricane live threads. Starting around the 1300 page of Thread III, reports came in about evacuation orders and the governor's hesitation and Mayfield's stern warnings.
One odd thing though, one freeper mentioned the governor asking the president for federal assistance and an emergency order on 8/27---and the president granting the request. Yet at the state's official website the request is dated 8/28. Does anyone know, were there two different requests?
Someone take a look at the press releases from the gov of LA website.
