What plan was there to make the locals, read city/state, not refuse to evacuate. Saturday and Sunday was too late to start the evacuation on a local scene. What could the Feds have done from a 1000+ miles away.

And............Mississippi and later Texas did a timely evacuation without federal intervention. And, Clinton could not have done more if this had happened 6 years ago.

One more thing, what was "the catastrophy" on that Saturday and Sunday?
