Three years since our current administration royally fucked up their response to Katrina, a new hurricane is bearing down on the Gulf, and it's not going to be any better as Gustav heads towards them.
Unlike Katrina, when thousands took refuge inside the Superdome, there will be no "last resort" shelter, and those who stay behind accept "all responsibility for themselves and their loved ones," said the city's emergency preparedness director, Jerry Sneed. Residents were streaming out of the city even though a mandatory evacuation order had not yet been issued for New Orleans. Hotels closed, and the airport prepared to follow suit as Mayor Ray Nagin confirmed the danger to the city was growing and told tourists to leave.
Banksy, however, has been in the area.
