Plus, there is a lot that seems to be left out.

What did the local television news people report about the storm? For instance, people I've talked to have said they downplayed both the severity of the storm and the likelihood that it would hit New Orleans.

When did they shut down the city buses? I've heard noon Sunday. This is significant because many people thought they could get rides on the buses to the edge of the city. Some of them connect to other bus lines. In any event, they could have used them to bus people out of town.

Why were there no banks of porta-potties for the "shelters"? Everyone knows the power goes out during a storm, and this was a hurricane. When the power goes out, the pumps that send water to flush-toilets go out too. The sewer the shelters became were an inevitability without portapotties or SOME alternate solution. People "gotta go."

There's a lot more, but these are some items that might have been added.

Seems like something the Left does a lot.
I don't think you intended it to be a pun, but it is.
