Yeah, I agree. I was responding to the notion that forcible evacuations would only occur at Cat 4 and above -- that was the suggestion I was handling when I composed that response which I sent of copy of to the list.
It takes 57 hours to evac just Tampa Bay. IF you add to the mix the people coming from the south, because of the 600 mile strike radius, it takes 105 hours. The disaster planners probably have numbers on how many will die in traffic accidents.
I don't know exact details for NO, though I do know their egress issues aren't as perilous. Still I was addressing the notion that Nagin should have commandeered buses 48 hours prior to the expected strike hour. These people are just total maroons.
