George, like thousands of others in the low-lying parish of Plaquemines, had ignored an evacuation order despite hammering rain and the fateful anniversary of hurricane Katrina. "I suppose it was foolish to stay, but I had no money, so I stayed," he said.
Interesting, isn’t it, that this can be said in
a British newspaper, but we don’t print this sort of thing in either the local
or national papers in the U.S.
At the moment, people are having to evacuate along the Louisiana - Mississippi border. They are being removed if they don't go voluntarily.
According to NPR News (as of 1 PM), Jindal is ordering the intentional blowing of the Plaquemines's levee on the east bank today. Shades of the dna memory of the Flood of 1927, which is referenced in Beasts of the Southern Wild.
