We heard on the TV last night (or was it this morning?) that there is now to be a MANDATORY evacuation of New Orleans - did that mean ALL of it?


The mayor ordered a mandatory evacuation last Sunday too, for all the good that did.

I think the authorities are finished dealing with the individual "wants" of the general populace. With dead bodies and raw sewage from heaven only knows where floating in the streets, no power, no food or water, no rest room facilities, I think most everyone will leave voluntarily now. Olwyn Mary's phone rings but there is no answer so I must assume she finally left. She said she would if she found out it as going to be weeks before power is restored and the reports ar that it will likely be several MONTHS before that happens! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
