Ray Nagin, the New Orleans mayor, has ordered an evacuation of the city starting early on Sunday to prepare for what he called "the mother of all storms".

The evacuation order, which will not be physically enforced by officials, will start with the city's low-lying West Bank starting at 1300 GMT on Sunday, followed by the East Bank at 1700 GMT, Nagin told reporters at City Hall.

  • I dont know why people make jokes of him because he said its the "stom of the century." The reason he said that was because it was expected to become a 5 before landfall.

  • Ray Nagin sucks

  • Ray Nagin is a joke.

  • i could have stayed home 4 this weak storm

  • It is so easy for us to sit here with our nice jobs and our nice homes and tell everybody to "lift themselves" out of poverty. That is not always possible. Look at some of the people who are struggling to survive, and ask yourselves, "Would I hire this person to work for me if I had the opportunity to do so?" Most of the time the answer would be "NO" if you would be perfectly honest. Some folks are not "hireable" and you know it. They simply aren't capable. It is a shame.
