Much has also been made on the news about most of the people who didn't leave not having a means to do so...no car, no money, noplace else to go. At the time the evacuation was ordered, I don't recall hearing anything about buses, trains or other transport being arranged for the evacuees, nor was there anyplace set up for them to go in advance (I could be wrong about these points, but I never did hear anything that suggested preparations any more farsighted than "get the hell out of town now").
