There are more people than that left in the city. And there are going to be a lot of people in a tent city after this and the conditions are going to be less than sanitary
I've said it 34098340938 times today; most people simply do not grasp the magnitude of this situation and how horrible it is.
I heard it on CNN and read it somewhere that they estimated less than 1M people got out. 30K of those who got left behind are in the Dome but there's supposedly another 100+K (minimum) around the city who didn't get out.
The population is around 1.3M - so maybe 300K people are still there.
There are at least 200k in there. They anticipated an 80% evacuation of the metro area, and that still leaves almost 300k.
I gotta sign off for a while. All this is really getting to me.
I'll check in later.
Take care all and pray for NO.
That really sucks.heard it on CNN and read it somewhere that they estimated less than 1M people got out. 30K of those who got left behind are in the Dome but there's supposedly another 100+K (minimum) around the city who didn't get out.

In 24 hours, New Orleans and the rest of the state will be in total shambles.
You are going off of your idea of how many will be dead. You are clueless.
Mannyisgod, we got it. You know all about the seriousness of the storm. Thanks pal. Repeat yourself after you do more than talk about it.
What? You couldn't come up with something ing stupid to say.
Yeah, totally awful.
If anything comes out of this crazy hurricane season, it is the amount of information we have gotten from the monitoring of storms. We have an enourmous amount of info that will lead to better forcasting and the saving of lives.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too good right now, either.
Kinda makes you feel sick.
Maybe it's just that I'm in serious denial about it, but I don't think more than 300-400 people dying.
That in and of itself is tragic, but you guys are making it sound like some biblical storm.
Well I don't want to think anyone is going to die. But it's on direct path to New Orleans and there's a lot of people still there. It's close to, if not, the worst storm in US history. It's not going to be good.
There's not much to do now, but pray.
And the last horse crosses the finish line.
Who said 300-400k dying?
Biblical storm? No, this is a real storm.
This thing is going to really up New Orleans. Everything bad that needs to happen in a natural disaster are happening.
I really hope the Superdome holds up. That in itself could be catastrophic.
Thanks for the forecast eminem.
You're picking a bad night to be an asshole.
Yeah, a storm 1 mile off from being a CAT 5 now is going to kill a few people. Esp, in a city like New Orleans.
Hey, wanna go check up on how many a weaker storm named Andrew killed in 1992. It wasn't a "few."
I hope those of you who are optomistic are right.
True - that scares me. Putting 30-40K people in there and telling them to stay in the upper deck could be a recipe for disaster. I hope not.
Kori, couldn't you ban this head for the rest of the day.
And there's a lot of children in that place.
Why don't you tell everybody you knew I was going to be 382349174 times? That will accomplish everything.
Elderly, baby boomers, 20 somethings, teens, and children.
For the first time in history, I'm using the ignore feature. I'm not in the mood for this tonight.
