Griclesfield Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The mayor of New Orleans has issued a mandatory evacuation order for the entire city, as Hurricane Gustav bears down on the US Gulf Coast. Ray Nagin said residents of the city's West Bank should begin moving out at 0800 (1300 GMT) on Sunday, with the East Bank leaving at midday (1700 GMT). He called it "the storm of the century" and added: "You need to be scared". Nice to see the mayor trying to reassure everyone ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 We choose to live in places where these things happen. We live beside rivers, on flood plains, earthquake zones and next to volcanoes.. Floods always happen. Earthquakes always happen, Volcanoes always erupt. Whether this is happening a little more often than it has in the last 100 years is really here nor there. For such a smart and intelligent species we can be incredibly stupid. Still sad for the people who live there. However they know the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
