I also live in Central Fla. and went through the three hurricanes last year, the eye of the last one going right over my town. We were prepared for all three long before they hit!

Hey, JudieZ, I have friends who also lived in last year's Hurricane Alley. They were required to evacuate LONG before the storms hit. It could have been done in New Orleans -- maybe not ALL could have gotten out but at least the non-criminal element could have been removed. My friends have since moved to a new home.
As to your observations on the corrupt, incompetant MAYOR of New Orleans, they're right on. Considering that he and Opra are of the same political persuasion, it's not supprising she agreed with him. They both HATE George W. Bush, they are both "soft" on Terrorists, which makes me wonder if the Mayor arranged this as a test to see what his al-Qaeda friends could expect when they next hit this country.
