[enmemoria]

the people at the end of this video have absolutely no idea the shit they're about to be in.

[bnvn1]

@enmemoria yeah pretty much. Drinking in the street before a Cat 5 hurricane is suppose to come on shore is not really a evacuation plan.

[positivesecret]

why do you guys close the streets when people need them to get out

[bnvn1]

Because they close the streets AFTER everyone is suppose to have already GOT OUT. That is a temp levee that runs between two counties or parish boarders.

[Gumboz1953]

@enmemoria Actually, those people weren't in the worst of the shit. Downtown and the Quarter fared pretty well, except for no power (it WAS hot as hell).

@KirkHammett984 Exactly. If they had evacuated when they should have instead of waiting/drinking/partying, they wouldn't be stuck there.

[Aspekitteh]

Damn, the clip of the clouds moving by the skyscraper and the errie quiet in the Downtown is enough to freak me out. If i was staying, i would sense something very very bad.

[KirkHammett984]

positivesecret, as bnvn1 said, everybody was supposed to have gotten out of the city. The City of New Orleans along with Plaquemines, St. Bernard, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Jefferson, St. John and St. John the Baptist Parishes were under mandatory evacuations (I'm not too sure about the last two but the rest definitely were). They closed the roads so nobody could get in or out of the city, because as we know all too well, we never EVER etch in stone the movements of a hurricane. They always change.

Good vid..... shit picture tho. Crappy watermark.

[positivesecret]

thanks for the reply, but i still dont understand why close the roads at anytime. people need those roads more than ever during a storm.

[Zapadac]

My dad has actually complained about that. He has been trapped before by unannounced and premature closure of roads and floodgates.
