People who tried to evacuate were prevented from doing so by police.

My mother just told me that she saw a man on the tele say that his family was prevented from leaving after the Government asked people to evacuate. Guess that explains why "some" stayed.

1. Thought this might help when people say "why didn't they leave?"

2. Until they utter the FReeper mantra: "What's your source?"

of course, they say that no matter what. Even if you are holding six different newspaper articles, have a printed copy of five websites, and video from 3 major news outlets, they still will tell you that you don't have enough evidence to back up your claim.

3. The people of N.O. are my source.

So far they've got the Government beat on the honesty front.
