The roads were jam packed leaving New Orleans, with traffic moving very
slowly. 80% of the population was already in their cars, and the
freeways were choked.
A contraflow was set up on major routes, so the return trip
would have had to have been made on more minor routes. Average speeds
for the city buses would have been 15 mph at best


Hell, bring in the C-17's, and C-5A's and C-130's. Marshall law should have
been declared, all should have been driven out, and transportation provided
for those who needed it. Set up refugee camps at closed military bases, and
all could have lived much more comfortably than they are now.
