First of all, I did note that the city and state will likley bear some blame when this issue is debated down the line, when the whole picture is clear. Like I said, we aren't going to know what happened until someone can look at events objectively and draw a clear picture.

You are forgetting that the city thought that it was free and clear, as the hurricane had passed. Then the levees broke. The concerns and warnings have been going on for years, but my understanding of the news reports (such as they are in these circumstances) is that this was a complete surprise.

If I am not mistaken, the total evacuation order came AFTER the water was pouring into the city, and probably inundating the buses. Which, sitting in six feet of water, were likely hard to start.
