[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 48106"] danny, Early I heard a rumor of the same, but I haven't been able to come up with any credible links about buses leaving empty. There were confirmed tourists stranded in New Orleans and the majority of them did not "refuse to leave" or "made their own choice to stay". I have already said there were those who chose to believe "it wouldn't happen to them", but there were also people willing to pay money that couldn't find a way out. It stands to reason there would be quite a few more poor people that would have gone given a true means if this is so. I think the mayor is just another politician running his mouth loudly that didn't do all he could during this manditory evacuation leaving hundreds of buses uselessly "sitting" and frankly he was the man on the scene. I really hate to see a part of the USA looking like New Orleans is currently. UPSers.com has added a Katrina donating link. [/QUOTE]
