that was the 2nd evac, bobby. the first was orderd
before the storm hit. that is when the buses should
have been used. people with cars were leaving those
that had no car were supposed to be put on any
available city vehicle and taken to safety. if the
dome was used the people were to be bused. the ended
up being told to walk and bring their own food and
water. the one on thursday involved evac of the dome
and civic center and of all the people they were
plucking off the housetops etc. no one was to stay at
even temporary shelters in the new orleans area.
