Phoenix said:Well the people in the city aren't SOL. The New Orleans Superdome is one of the country's largest shelters and the city will set up pick-up points for people who don't have cars but are still within harms way. The superdome is a tough structure and can accomodate a large number of people, so even in the worst case scenario - any stragglers or those who just couldn't get out will at least be in a safe place.
Being flooded in with no power and no fresh water is far from safe. I guess it's better than being at home in NO, but anyone who didn't leave is a dumbass.
