Reply #9: who's nobody, plenty of people listened, for example the governors [View All]

the governors of mississippi and louisiana worked together to create a countra-flow to allow people to evacuate more efficiently by car, result -- more people evacuated to safety by car for katrina than in any previous evacuation or in any previous projection -- it was thought only 60% could evacuate safely by car without crowding the roads, 80% evacuated by car and the traffic moved safely

compare to evacuations by car in the houston area or in southern florida, where a certain number of people are going to be trapped in weather and DIE because they don't have good evacuation plans for all the traffic

i'm tired of hearing "nobody" listened, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DIDN"T LISTEN, the people listened and those who could help themselves did so, the states listened and did what they could, and so on

this is squarely on the heads of the federal gov't and nobody else
