The dumbest thing I've heard was the suggestion that people without cars should have fled on foot. Think about it, the average person can walk something like 25 miles in a day (although it's probably around 20 miles in southern humidity, now imagine carrying supplies and shit and that's like 15 miles) Even with 5 days notice to get your shit together and run away you would only get 75 to 125 miles away from NO when Katrina hit. Katrina was a type 5 storm and about 400 miles in diameter. You would have been fucked if you were jogging along the interstate.


public transportation




The MBTA pretty much shuts down in small snow storms, I doubt the NOTransit busses were driving around picking people up and evacuating them.
