Walk across 20+ miles of swamps in any direction. Yes, I am sure you would have.

I really think that if someone would have wanted to get out, there would have been arrangements made....they started evacuating two days ago.

yeah.. i would've walked along the shoulder of I-10 .. showing a little leg every now and then.. somebody would eventually give me a ride.
Even if I did have to ride in the dumbass CNN "Hurricane 1".....
Cars were on all lanes, incluing the emergency lane.
Baton Rouge is 70 miles from NO. How long would that take while carrying your baby and maybe a little formula?
I hope that people on the north side of town don't start thinking it's safe now just because the storm has moved north.
Lake Pontchartrain still hasn't crested yet. As Katrina moves north, it will blow the lake water south up against the levee, after having spent all morning blowing Gulf water into the lake.
i would have picked you up obiwan
Rameses' army and the Red Sea come to mind... haven't you seen pics of the roads that are flooded?
We don't know this guy's situation so it's stupid to pass judgment.
Sorry but you are wrong. A lot of people could absolutely not get out. They did not have cars. Most other modes of transportation were overbooked or shutdown. They've interviewed 1000's of tourists whose flights were canceled two days ago, there were no rental cars or buses available.
Everyone can sit here and say all day that "they could have got out" but that's crap. Sure, some of them were dumb and chose to stay but thousands and thousands had absolutely no choice.
Looters!
elpimpo has a kid?
thank you. I knew you would.
You have to cross swamps to get out. That would only work if you smell bad enough that the alligators won't eat you. You would know.
i would have picked up Elpimpo so he won't walk accross swamps and give him a hand
el pimpo's son, young pimpo, is currently studying for the national spelling bee championships

11:50 a.m.:St. Bernard Residents Forced Into Attics
Several people in St. Bernard Parish have been forced into their attics because of the rising water. In many homes, the water has risen above the second floor. "We know people are up in their attics hollering for help," said state Sen. Walter Boasso. The state Department of Wildlife and Fish says it is standing by with 60 boats and will head out into neighborhoods as soon as the winds subside to assist stranded and trapped residents. -- WDSU anchor Kriss Fairbairn.
young pimpo lol
I'm just saying what I would do becasue I know myself and I have had to face a similar situatuon in the past.
we were under a voluntary evacuation but we chose to go. and thank go we did.
and my car did get stuck in a sink hole and flooded out on a back country road and I did get out and walk my happy butt to safety untill someone picked me up.
I'd do it again if needed i nthe future. thats just how I am.
You talk about walking out...alot of those people that couldn't get out are elderly, how the are they supposed to just walk out of the city?
motorized scooters can only get you so far, the people were smart to go to the Superdome, its better than trying to fight it out at home.
Yeah I get that. But if you didn't have a car (like 100K of them don't) I don't think you could have walked through the swamps 100 miles to safety in this situation.
I'd get out too -- but I have money and a car and good health. Not everyone is as fortunate.
