There are too many people. The entire city is to be evacuated. They are saying for a month, but it's going to be longer than that. And that's just New Orleans! A lot of the surrounding areas were hit even worse. They can only put a couple thousand people in the Astrodome. There are going to be hundreds of thousands of displaced people - over a million? - for an extended period of time.

They are going to have to create refugee tent cities somewhere. Probably on military bases I would guess.

The federal government better fucking step up here. It's hard not to be a little skeptical though, given the economic and racial profile of those in need. Hope I'm wrong.
