Maybe the state of emergency has given him more powers. The initial call to evacuate probably didn't have as much weight.Originally posted by Spiffor
I don't understand... I thought the mayor ordered the evacuation before the hurricane. What is the difference between that pre-hurricane evacuaion and the new one?What?Comment

Prison riot at Orleans jail and hostages have been taken. That seems really stupid to me, considering that the waters are rising and the jail will be inundated.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

People could refuse to comply with the "mandatory" evacuation.
This one looks to be carried out at gunpoint if necessary.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

According to CNN that could be as many as 30.000 people... I sure hope they don't have to rely on helis and small boats to evacuate those.Originally posted by laurentius This latest one includes all the folks at the Super Dome as well for example.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

I dont think that will be needed. Form the pictures and video I have seen From New Orleans I dont see why anyone would want to stay. The problem is that the people left in the city are mostly people who could not evucate from the city. Some people who stayed are saying on the news that they had wished they left when the government told people too.Originally posted by The Mad Monk

It's surrounded by water. Unless Jesus or Moses shows up, boats and helis are the only way out.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

With all the damage I think that New Orleans should be abandon. A city that sits below sea level is too dangerous to live in where hurricanes like this can hit.Comment

Well I just heard a report that the Super Dome is starting to Flood. . . .Originally posted by Sava
I would assume yes...
FOX said the only possible danger to the dome would be flooding, but it is built in an area safe from flooding...Comment

The difference is, you'll be coerced to leave now, and if you don't, the coast guard won't be dropping by anytime soon to give you a ride.Originally posted by Spiffor

I try to always be optimistic...
Things can't get worse...
The evacuation saved hundreds of thousands of lives...
This disaster happened in the USA, where government and private charities can afford to give help...
The Army Corps of Engineers is constantly trying to figure out "wtf are we going to do"
The Big Easy is just too big. It has incredible culture and history, huge economic significance, a million real live people...I'd say it's ****ed but it's not that bad, we will recover it, it is too necessary.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment
