The folks who expect the government to take all the responsibility for
their safety love to bash the "wacky survivalists". You don't hear about
the survivalists in the media since they are not the ones drowning in
the attics or waiting to be rescued from their roofs.

The survivalists are the ones who took personal responsibility for their
own safety and well being. They assessed the likely risks and made
preparations to deal with them. Whatever survivalists lived in NO have
been sitting warm and dry somewhere safe, watching TV and shaking their
heads at those who expected someone else to take responsibility for
them.

Indeed.

The Survivalists decided that it was time to leave for the Labor Day
weekend early. Nothing 'serious' more of a "Hey all ya'll, you have a nice
time, we're heading up to the lake/grandma's, see you next week." kind of
departure. Just Mr & Mrs Joe Average heading up river for a little R&R.
Okay, so the SUV/RV/Camper/van is a little more heavily laden than
"normal", and they seem bound and determined to get to Aunt Gussy's up in
Arkansas in a hurry, but otherwise ... whats to notice?

Of course, some of them made this trip, oh, three, four years ago.
