Re: No Evacuations?!?!?

That is really odd. I think that somebody is making a bad call in not ordering evacuations for NO. Here we are looking at one of the most dangerous weather features of our time and nobody is ordering evacuations.

They ARE ordering evacuations and people are heading out of town. The sad thing is there is no way to evacuate an entire major city. The smaller towns like Biloxi, MS were still debating mandatory evac's as late as this morning.
I think that even the Emergency Managers don't really understand this storm can and will do.

It's a logistical nightmare. I think that Radio and TV and sites like this one are doing all they can to warn people.

My prayers are for everyone to be safe in and around the Gulf Coast.
