Re: Gov. Says to Evacuate New Orleans.

I had heard this, and found the report on the WDSU web site.
"BATON ROUGE, La. -- With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday afternoon that people now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers need to be evacuated ."
As I understand it, EVERYONE is supposed to leave New Orleans. Don't know any more than that.
I've been expecting this. With NO possibly under water in parts for weeks, what other choice do they have?
For all extents and purposes, it seems the city itself is closed and will probably be closed for some time. I can't think of anything like this in US history. It's just tragic.
