That said, do you know if they moved patients out of the hospitals to the Superdome? My mind can't get around that. It just can't. Anyone too sick to move, even by ambulance, has no business in a shelter situation like that one. Head just won't process the data. That's nothing short of heinous.

Leaving by car is one thing - I'm with kimonthejourney - boats? Upstream? Possible?

And people in the rescue services are there for a reason, and by choice. Having to stay because you can't leave by your own choice? Those are the cases I hate seeing labeled "it was their own fault for being lazy/stupid/broke/etc." You understand.

I wonder if we'll ever know much about how good a shelter the Superdome was, after all. Crisis is over, if you're watching the national news....
