I am sorry, but there were alot of people who didnt want to leave, they were
warned and everything. From what I remember it used to happen in florida
too, but the number of people who have done it is now very low since they
have seen the destructive power of a hurrican every year while New Orleans
gets hit much less.

But I do agree in some part with Meye5, theres all this crying out of how
people were killed and a city destroyed. Yet they had been warning people
for the longest time that this was comming(Even discoverry channel re-aired
some footage of a meteorologist saying that New Orleans would end
upcompletely flooded within the next decade or something). If you wish to
live in a nice place, you have to accept the bad things that come with it.
Alot more people get killed in the world in much more horrible circumstances
worse than a simple flood, you dont see anyone crying about them as much.

Those with the money to have a car did, by and large, leave. Remember
the pictues of bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-10? Those that rely on bus
and other public transportation were stuck.

It was a accident waiting to happen. I think of it as natural
selection. If your dumb enough to stay in a city below sea level with a
cat. 5 hurricane bearing down, you deserve to be weeded out of society.
Society is better off as a result.
Only trouble is its costly to remove bloated corpses from the putrid
waters.
