There hasn't been an exodus out of an American city since the Civil War. The Burning of Atlanta comes to mind. The mayor of New Orleans has ordered everyone in the city to get out. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's just not habitable. No electricity, no water, no food, no services, no protection. People just can't live there. It is frightening to think that an American city is, for all intents and purposes, gone. A report said that it will take 16 weeks just to get electricity restored. That's nothing compared to how long it will take to reconstruct. And we're not talking about repairing structures. Bulldozers are comin' in and tearing down everything. It's going to have to built up from scratch.
When will the population be allowed to return? Will they have anything to return to? How are they going to get people out of the disaster zone? Where do you put up over a million homeless people? This is turning to be a lot worse than we thought.

Another interesting point is the soil contamination issues from the heavy elements used by all the industry. It may be years before that toxic waste is clenaed up enough to be safe to live in the area.
I feel so bad for the pople down there. And you know that most of those stuck are dirt poor and couldn't get out; whatever they had is simply gone now.
