Its a wonderful Churchillian moment for him . . . . . but he's probably more responsible than anyone for a local disaster plan that appears to have consisted of one word:
"RUN!!!"

Considering the circumstances what would have been a better plan?

He could have asked for help before the storm. Oh my God, that's a novel idea. Perhaps brought in port-o-potties to the Superdome, because any idiot know that if it floods, there will be no running water. Perhaps could have had a supply of bottled water in a storage room somewhere? Maybe had a supply of food as well? Like the military rations that take years to go bad...
You know, I remember in school they used to have fire drills. They used to plan ahead in case of emergency. Did he just see the storm and say 'holy shinguard, what now?' In a city like that, I would think one of the first priorities when getting in office, or at least before the hurricane season, would be to at least see what kind of preparations there are for an emergency. And when you see that it's a Category 5 storm barrelling down on you, and you know you're only prepared for a category 3, why do you not call for help beforehand?
