I am saying that most people would do this. There also about 10% of the people who would stay because they don't believe that any storm is dangerous.
It was. There were no rental cars left, no buses left, no trains left, no planes left.
You have strange sense of logic. The fact that a staging area was needed denotes that this was a last resort.
They're under water.
50 miles west of a hurricane that is 100 miles wide is a long distance. The reason mountains are important is because the elevation breaks up the spinning cell. It takes 2-1-2 hours to drive 150 miles and that is buttuming you can go 65 MPH average. Then you have to find a building to stay in. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hour to five hours depending on capacity. So now we're talking about 3-8 hours before the storm fringes hit. This is 24 hours before the storm hits. At least a day.
Now you are being ridiculous. It means that the shelter you do use has to have facilities for these storms. All motels do not...not even in tornado alley. So how do you plan in the case of a tornado? You rent a ground level room with a huge bathtub and plan to move one of the matresses into the bathroom to put on top of the tub.
plan in case of a fire?
Which schools. The ones in New Orleans? The ones in a town 50 miles north who have already put their people in? Which schools in Louisiana would you put these people.
Schools have rooves, too.
Ah, Bush was picking on the weak and the poor. Typical. It has to be put into clbutt warfare clothing. Those tourists in hotels are not poor.
You make your luck.
There is a similar discipline for earthquakes, too. None of this makes a 100% guarantee that damage will not be done.

Whoosh! Well, that leap of logic skipped at the speed of light.
Oh, honey. Have you ever been in a hurricane? From a human perspective there isn't any difference between a Cat 5 and Cat 4 wind speeds; you get blown away with either one.
I guess you also have never been in a nor'easter, too.
You make do with what you have. Are you suggesting that the Superdome be torn down and replaced with a better building? A lot of people in New Orleans would fight that. They play the Superbowl in that place.
Yea it was. Unfortunately, you're still trying to spout more BS.
But the roof flying off was not a problem. It was an inconvenience. Those people didn't die from the storm, did they?
Do a time flowchart. To evacuate a whole city, one has to start evacuating three days before the storm begins, which is 1-2 to one day before the hurricane reaches land.
no, you haven't. You have no idea how to test this. You seem to believe that a piece of paper pasted to the wall signed by a city inspector proves that no damage will be done.
Name one structure that had no damage in high winds.
So Bush's Federal government did look at the problem. The conclusion was that they didn't know all problems nor did they know many answers. You just proved that your claims that the government did nothing are false.
BAH
