I heard a rant on tv yesterday saying that New Orleans population were 'ordered' out of the area, but still loads remained.
My immediate thoughts were, "idiots! its their own fault", but i'm sure there's more to it than that, like hardship of getting transport etc etc.
I aint religious so i won't pray, but my thoughts are genuinely with those suffering and hope that New Orleans pulls through.

Am i right in saying that the flooding will never subside naturally, and that it will need to be pumped out? Jeez that could take ages

Well the ppl there are blue collar in income so they can't afford the funds to move out and to move back in again so a lot of them decided to stay even though the hurricane was bearing down on them.
