Once again, a link to a post that I simply cannot read. While there may be some information buried between the angry outbursts, I find it difficult to sort out. The facts the blogger cites actually contradict his generalizations. He accuses the city first of having a plan but failing to follow it, then of "planning to fail," then of "complete catastrophic failure." But the portion of the plan he cites clearly states that the primary means of evacuation would be private vehicles. Buses are mentioned as a possibility, but if there is a portion of the plan that spells out how and when the buses might be used, the poster doesn't quote it.

The primary evacuation plan actually seemed to be planned and carried through quite successfully. Getting 400,000 people out of the city in that time frame is no small feat. The plan did not fail. It was, however, massively inadequate. That's why it is #1 on my list.
