The major/governor should have had a better way to get those people out. Instead, the were locked up in the Superdome and Convention Center. Why did they have checkpoints around the city, so if someone tries to leave they turn them back to the Superdome and the Convention Center? Not that many people just wanted to "ride out the storm". Everyone is well aware of the NOLA bowl.
No, not on one man. But it seems that this one man appointed a director of FEMA has no experience with disasters....his passion is Arabian horses! Oh. That fits.
