Katrina was much more devestaing. People didn't leave NO for various reasons. One being, many of them DID NOT HAVE CARS TO DRIVE.

Reason so many lives were lost in Katrina was becasue of stupidity


Outside of New Orleans how many lives were lost


....Cat 5 hurricane coming your way , you live 10ft below sea level(sure half of them did not know that) you live inside a levee

So your mayor says leave , your governor says leave but let's stay and ride it out and loot after its over

Yea

Again, Katrina DID NOT HIT New Orleans. They had a tropical storm a month or so prior that caused more wind damage than Katrina. People did not leave because they did not feel it would be bad. And, had the levees not busted...it wouldn't have been. 20 miles one way or the other in the track of a hurricane makes a big difference.
