New Orleans Evacuation Ordered


This is bad. We have been watching this one for a few days now. We do not want a repeat of Katrina and we hope all affected people are getting to safer territory inland.

Breitbart.com: Nagin orders mandatory evacuation of New Orleans
Mayor Ray Nagin is ordering the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, turning informal advice to flee from the approaching Hurricane Gustav into an official order to get out.

Nagin said Saturday that the evacuation becomes mandatory at 8 a.m. Sunday on the city's vulnerable west bank. It becomes mandatory on the east bank at noon.

Let's hope that Nagin can keep his act together this time. During Katrina, he lost his mind and then blamed it all on President Bush and his FEMA response.

Right now we hope all failed lessons are learned. We hope any renovatios to the structures that keep New Orleans dry will hold. We want the people there to be safe and to get to safety as needed. We want no fatalities.

This is the time to express our deep concern and to help in whatever way can even a little bit if possible, even if its only through our intentions.
