I can’t keep up with the various threads. Traffic is a cluster going west. Why aren’t our leaders implementing contraflow?

Didn't have time/resources.

Too focused on covid I guess. Hope someone asks the questions afterwards.

It is a State issue. Sure the state police can't act unilaterally. Probably will turn into a blame game like before Katrina where one side says they didn't know they had to ask and the other side says no one ever asked.

For New Orleans, Cantrell said last night that there “isn’t enough time” despite the fact that there was 50ish hours between then and landfall at that time.

Because our political leaders are incompetent retards who can't be bothered to pay attention to anything other than Covid.

Contraflow is set up to let you go east or west from new orleans and doesn't impact interstate 12

That is what is crazy to see. The amount of people flowing out of NOLA to the West. I hope their final stop isn't BR.

Don't have to do emergency things if you don't call for an emergency.
