The NOAA/weather service warned those in power in LA and N.O. what Katrina was, and to get the he77 out. They ignored the warnings. Besides, a good portion of the populace stocked up on party stuff and decided to "hunker down" and hold hurricane parties like many do in Florida every year.AS for New Orleans, it was a highly Democratic Party majority city with a Democrat (idiotic) mayor in a state with a (lame) Democrat governor. Oh, yes, it was a majority poor black city also. Not big Bush fans to begin with.
The most telling post-Katrina photo I ever saw was the one with all the school buses parked in their lot. Water half way up to the windows.
If Ray Nagin had a lick of sense and any leadership at all, those buses would have ferried the citizens out in the 36-48 hours prior.
