It didn't give a false since of protection. We always knew the that the levee's wouldn't hold up if we had anything bigger than a Category 3 storm role through. and that's what happened.. when the storm hit it's the category 3 mark. they started asking people to leave the city voluntarily .. it wasn't mandatory for anyone to leave until a day before the storm.
There were firetrucks with bullhorns with sirens yelling "Please leave the city now, this is an emergency!" ...but the folks who stayed really had no way to leave anyway..
There was no plan to get us out of there at all... Aside from that. The National Guard didn't come in to the city until the flooding settled. (thats when all the BS with the Governor , FEMA and Bush went on)
The folks in my area all slept on the interstate until the Blackhawks and buses started rolling through. We got on them buses and they dropped us off at the Astrodome in Houston.. and because of Hurricane Rita, we all were Forced out of there.
that was a wild experience
That sound like the insurance company....LOL.....If not for the storm, there would be no flood..........
