Well Louisiana’s reaction to something like that would be and is a whole lot worse, than Texas’s.

short answer: Mayor Cantrell said No



Y’all are killing me with this. Why would contraflow be needed in Orleans parish? It would cause chaos, and latoya can’t mandate contraflow on her own.

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.


We had more warning for Ida than we did for Katrina.

But in fairness, Destroya can't do contraflow. It would be pointless anyway because she can't extend it past the twin spans.

Fake reason: not enough time.

Plausible reason: not enough NOPD manpower

Real reason: complete incompetence, zero coordination between various parish leaders, and zero leadership from the governor’s mansion.

It should be, but the mayor won’t call it because she’s completely incompetent, and they don’t have enough NOPD officers to do anything.

Contraflow only really makes sense for mandatory evacuations, I don't think anywhere along I-10 is in a mandatory evacuation.



They can’t call it mandatory without enacting contra flow as a viable method to actually evacuate. You’ve got the cart before the horse.

Levees are only rated for a cat 3. Cat 4 should trigger a mandatory evacuation.

Because Democrat, that‘ s why. Notice how everything they touch goes to absolute shite? That’s a pattern, not a coincidence.

Blanco = JBE
Nagin = Latoya


Now, compare the difference in how things were handled with Gustav, and Jindal’s preparedness, and reaction to it, and you’ll see a totally different responsible reaction to a storm to that of his predecessors handling the Katrina debacle


All this storm has to do is jog just ever so slightly east and make a direct hit on NOLA as a Cat 4 hurricane and it’s a completely different ballgame. But not that hurricanes are unpredictable or anything. And you can believe this, no amount of billions spent on flood protection is fool proof in protecting a city below sea level from being overtaken by a wall of water it’s not capable of protecting against. But I guess we’re going to roll the dice just one more time.
