Dunno, but doesn't it seem odd that folks are choosing to live in a
flooded cesspool rather than accepting free housing all over the country?

A number of elderly residents, in particular, have been reluctant to venture
to a new location:

***********
``I haven't left my house in my life. I don't want to leave,'' said a
frail-looking 86-year-old Anthony Charbonnet, shaking his head as he locked
his front door and walked slowly backwards down the steps of the house where
he had lived since 1955.
Charbonnet left only after a neighbor assured him: "Things will be OK. It'll
be like a vacation.'' Still protesting, Charbonnet stepped into the
ambulance in which soldiers from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division would
take him to a helicopter.
