This evacuation is ridiculous, IMO preparation was once again not present. Not that im saying they took too long... the evacuation from Houston is a mess. They told Houston to get out but yet half of them had to turn around due to the insane traffic problem. I guess I can give them credit for giving such an advance warning but I know MANY people who are still stuck in Houston because they couldnt get out due to gas.

It's already been downgraded to a category 3.... by the time it hits land it's going to be a stiff breeze.
For us here in DFW, it appears it won't be much of an issue. Elsewhere it can be some bad news.

The levee's in NO have been breached once again and the flood waters are pouring in. A bus full of 24 seniors have caught on fire and burned down with all of the passengers in it.

There was actually a way that they could have made evacuation easier.
The way I see it, it was handled like as if someone yelled fire in a crowded theater - EVERYONE panics and then the herd stampedes.
Instead of screaming fire, they could have evacuated the zip codes (or city) most threatened by the hurricane. doing it by zip code would eliminate alot of traffic.

I wasnt referring to the bus and the levees as bad planning.. I was referring to the fact that they basically yelled fire and everybody just tried to storm out. They could of done it by zip codes or by certain areas and it would of had been ALOT easier on the people.
