That is somerthing that bothered me too. They are saying they can't
get busses and that the Astrodome is full. (quickly turning into a
disaster of it's own) Why didn't the inland communities each send a
few busses and bring the refugees back to their city. A disaster like
this is more easily handled if they would spread out the refugees. A
hundred refugees in a 1000 towns is easier to handle than 100,000
refugees in one city.
In the process of moving these folks they could assemble a data base
of who was saved and where they went.

Are you asking if the governor or the mayor could have done something on their
own? My gosh, what a novel idea!

It's much easier to sit back, do nothing, and whine about the federal
government, who doesn't own the Louisiana National Guard or the New Orleans
police force in the first place!
