Sancho Panza
Name one what? Thing that was done? Thousands of things were done. They just had no time to evacuate the entire city after waiting so long to recognize the barrel of the gun they were staring down. Sad but true and your wishful thinking won't change that.
If you would actually read the posts, you'd see that I am one of the few posters who has actually specified these things in my posts -- population of both city proper and metro area, when the warnings were issued. Talk about condescending? That's you, son. Know what you're talking about please before posting.
Uh, fool, it's time for you to check the facts. They didn't get Monday morning. The storm moved in Sunday night. So you don't get to count the hours up to Monday morning as part of your fantasy evacuation.
But they didn't have that time to work with, so although your math is swell, your buttertion is phony. You make a common error of counting inapplicable time simply because we all think of Monday as the day of the strom, which it primarily was. That doesn't mean they had sunny skies Monday morning to aid them.
I have never ever said no one should have done a thing. What I have said is that the pollyannas in here, apparently including you, are fantasy-driven fools if they think all 1.3 million folks in the metro area could have been mandatorily or forcibly evacuated in the time frame they had to work with. poo, the city now is a disease-plagued cesspool and they STILL have tens of thousands mired in the muck, many refusing to leave.
