But it's even worse than that. The Burboun Street bars were hosting
hurricane parties the night before the hurricane. Local TV stations
were covering the Mardi Gras like celebrations on the news. The
foolish Mayor/Governor/Police Chief allowed this to go on, which sent a
message to millions of viewers that if the bars were open, it was OK to
stay and couldn't be all that bad.

And even today, people are refusing to leave. No sympathy for those.
