Give it time, they've only just gotten there. There is still plenty of time for the situation to degrade into total hell. :D
OK, really, I get your inference that race may have something to do with it?
I would propose that its more of a socioeconomic difference. The evacuated areas are mostly financially well off residents. All the motels and hotels are booked up all of a sudden so they've nowhere else to go.
I think they will be more grateful for some food and a place to stay updated with all the televisions around. As a group they would unused to entitlements and not expect anything....not a "where's my check" sort of attitude.
But I would like to see Bilgie photochop the black Heineken guy into some photos of the damaged areas pretty soon....

I think the reporter gave the reasons things are different...
"The New Orleans evacuees had dragged themselves through floodwaters to get to the Louisiana Superdome in 2005, and once there endured horrific conditions without food, sanitation or law enforcement.
But these evacuees drove to the expansive parking lots in the San Diego suburbs. The worst that most endured in their exodus was heavy traffic and smoky haze."
Plus catered food, plenty of water, ability to come and go at will. News is on keeping people informed. It's not like the fire is outside the door. In a nutshell, the fear and panic is not present. Completely different natural disaster.

Well, let's see. They've only been there for two days, the toilets are still working, and they're not having the roof ripped off the building during a hurricane. I think there is a big difference. I also agree with Richard that socioeconomic status has a lot to do with it.
I'm sure the good BnB is not implying that race has anything to do with it, as that is not the Christian way. At least I hope that's not what he was implying.

NOLA is a Democratic party town.
SD is Republican, although they have been known to elect non-Republicans occasionally. Also, SD has an exceptionally high percentage of Navy and Marine Corps folks, active, former, and retired. There is a mindset that comes with the BTDT deployment ordeal which will help them help themselves and each other.

Don't be such a dork. There is a huge difference in the operation of CA and NO. Did you forget who runs the majority of this state. Glad you are a proud Republican, but I, like most, will assure you that CA's response to the recent disaster can not be attributed to one political party or the other.
I would like to say thanks to the fire crews for doing an amazing job. Without your efforts, this situation could have been much worse.

well I'm sure they will be rebuilt just like your area will be also. But I'll tell ya, when I was buying a house I wanted to live out there so bad. But ..... my requiremts were flat driveway, not close to any cliffs (mud slides, land slides) or in any wildfire areas. So that means I'm a city dweller with out a killer view but did sleep in my own bed last night.
I guess everything is a trade off. Killer views in CA but it burns now and then, killer views in FL but every once in awhile momma blows your house away. Or no killer views and live a ho hum life in downtown Anaheim.

San Diegans and Californians in general should be proud of how they have handled themselves during this disaster. From the news reports it seems like the atmosphere at Qualcomm Stadium is almost up-beat and party-like.
The problem with the Super Dome was that there were no supplies there and once the flooding hit, they couldn't get supplies in. They knew the hurricane was coming, and announced the Super Dome as the evacuation site...they should have had the place pre-stocked with goods.

The difference between evacuees and refugees is that evacuees evacuated out of mandatory evacuation zones. Refugees ignored the evacuation order until they floated away.

btw, I wish the red's were in power here. Unfortunately, the highly populated blue areas dictate the rules for the underpopulated red areas. Looks like it's the same way in LA.

See, it takes a teacher, one that BnB took a 'swipe' at in the God threads I kight add, to explain it. MMSW is absolutely correct. While based on area the red would seem to be far more powerful in CA the more populated blue areas have the power.

Blanco is the root cause of the majority of the NO problem prior to, during, and after the storm.
I was back home, on the north side of the lake, when Katrina hit and had the unfortunate pleasure to evacuate to Destin and sit on the beach for a week, but Old Texan is right, As I was slowly creeping down I-10 I saw hundreds of National Guard Trucks, hundreds of contractors, hundreds of power company trucks, Red Cross, flat beds with water, gas, food all traveling west. Gov. Blanco refused to let the Feds in but who got the quick blame......this was two days before it hit, thousands of trucks and man power on the way order to move by the Bush Government!
Mississippi was just as devastated if not more along the coast and what did that republican Governor say? Shoot to kill if you loot and how many news stories did we see in Misssissippi? None……
Its mentality, “the government has always taken care of me so I'll go the superdome!” It's called personal responsibility and if you look at that map with all the blue spots those are big liberal cities with lots of social programs and handout programs that cripple people in these types of situations!

This situation is not a good stand alone example. It is far to limited in scope compaired to Katrina. California would have to have a massive 9.0+ earthquake to create a situation like N.O. No water, transportation,power, etc.
When it does happen and it will , I would like to think that Californian's would do far better than they did in New Orleans, but you never know. I think Los Angles would be a mess and San Diego and San Fransico would do much better.
I just hope I'm home is East County when it happen's, I'll be real close to my gun's.:D

I am saddened by how many of you don't realize that these type of pictures are racist. As members on Hot Boat, you should be much more informed. It's not just the action, it's the impact. .

Exactly....in those areas that ARE red, add up the number of registered Republicans, and it quickly outnumbers the registered dems...just that that dems are far more activist than Repubs.....so they "get out the vote better" How's Val???

The difference between evacuees and refugees is that evacuees evacuated out of mandatory evacuation zones. Refugees ignored the evacuation order until they floated away.
The point about having cars is a good point.
BINGO.
The folks who left NOLA on time, as req'd were fine. The ones who waited till it was too late, well it was too late.
To quote a displaced NOLA refugee "We's got really mad when they's shut off the TV, the power & the water, so we came here (the dome)."

Well they are turning people away from many of the evac centers now......
........The people they are turning away are the ones that are donating food, blankets and tents. There's too much water, too much food. Please stop bringing donations......:D
Many stores are sold out of such goods as kind San Diegans buy them up and donate them.
Some seriously good folks in SD and in SoCal in general. Makes me proud.
No, blue areas are democratic couties in the 2004 Presidential election....goes to show you, if HALF the registered Republicans voted in any given election, Dems would never hold power in this state again....
Here is the original link to the map...just soe's ya don't go away mad, just that you go away...
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap.htm
Whats home price got to do with anything?? Are you for real?? We are talking about the City/counties ability to react instantly to a major crisis, but also to do it effectively....that is all politics...KAtrina did not sneak up on NO..they had days to get it together...instead, they took off...NAgin is an asshole..
The map depicts the counties on 2004 that voted red or blue for the office of President. Clearly, as least in CA, the blue areas are the areas that are the most poputated. Whether you or anyone likes in or not, the majority of CA votes Democratic. Suggesting that this is because Republicans don't get out and vote, doesn't say much for Republicans, now does it?. You probabaly would have told a more honest story if you stated that there too damn many people who think that the entire process is a joke and as a result that don't care about politics at all. The map has nothing to do with numbers of registered Democrats or Republicans.
The price of homes and the amount of property and other Taxes paid in CA has all to do with the ability to be prepared for natural disaster. The parts of LA hit by Katrina are very poor by comparrison.
If you are one of those folks, which you seem to be, that believe the Kartina disaster, was the fault of anyting other than a hurricane, you're an idiot. While we all know that the people of NO may have been better prepared, doesn't change the fact that the large part of NO was destroyed. Guys like you seem to be of the position fock NO, they don't deserve Federal assistance or any of your hard earned tax dollars. Am I right on this one BnB.

I liked the young, healthy woman who said, "When the water got to the ceiling, we started dialing 911, but no one came."
