Make it four.  I live in Metairie Louisiana which is just west of New 
Orleans.  So I am watching this storm also.  I certainly hope it doesn't 
come this way again.

But what really makes me mad is the evacuation plan they have for the 
disabled who can't get out on their own.  We have to register with the 
parish.  Then they will come and get us and bring us to a staging area to 
board buses or Amtrak trains to be taken to shelters in other parts of the 
state or maybe even out of state.  So what they are saying to those of us 
who can't drive is that it is either an evacuation shelter or nothing.  What 
happened to the thinking that if you have anywhere else to go don't go to a 
shelter?  Only go to a shelter as a last resort.  Our only choice is to hope 
we can get to the airport and get some kind of flight out, because they are 
taking the Greyhound buses and Amtrak trains for transportation to shelters. 
That shows you what they think of the disabled in this society.  I know of 
at least one person, KB5FNW who had the little he brought with him stolen in 
an evacuation shelter.  So society really thinks highly of us doesn't it? 
It is practically saying we are expendable.  Does that remind you of a World 
War Ii society we all know of?
