NO Shelters Not Prepared for Major Hurricane

[CrazyC83]

I've read that the city will be shut down - and emptied - if there is any chance (even the slightest one) that a hurricane of any strength will hit the New Orleans area. No shelters will be provided. That means evacuating for tropical storms or even tropical depressions or unnamed tropical waves.

Hey TWW,

Amen, NEVER give them your Email

What I do not understand is that Feema and Red Cross shut down all of our shelters south of Interstate 10 here in SW Louisiana because of the potential dangers of a CAT 3 or higher yet they would allow shelters in a city below sea level??? We bused and flew people out of here due to the threat and in the end were very thankful we did although the long-distance shelter made it difficult. Is there some sort of double-standards in federally regulated shelters now? We are at least above sea level and 15 miles from the gulf.

That is a good question and very good points.
