First and foremost I think it goes without saying that Hurricane Katrina's destruction of New Orleans is a tragic event that will have ripples in aspects of our lives we haven't even imagined yet. My heart goes out to the people of that beautiful city, wherever they might be.

This back and forth about who should and could be blamed for what happened there is making me crazy. I have a couple of questions however that have stuck with me. Do you have any burning questions you'd like answered? Here's mine:

What about the school buses? I would not want to travel for long periods of time on a school bus, but high school students manage to survive that all the time. Was there a window of opportunity where they could have used the school buses to take people from the Superdome to a safer place between realizing how bad Katrina was going to be (Friday-Saturday) and when she hit (Monday am). Where would they have gone? I don't know, but it seems to me that when you issue a mandatory evacuation order for a city where 1 in 3 people don't have a car, you need to provide some options. The Superdome was a great option to ride out the storm, but not to stay in for days. Clearly after the flooding it was too late to use this resource.
