LOUISIANA GOVERNOR ORDERS COMPLETE EVACUATION OF NEW ORLEANS AS WATER CONTINUES TO RISE

I knew this story was not been told properly. If you've ever been to Louisiana and observed the political, economical, social, and environmental climate you would have known too that New Orleans was in trouble behind this storm and some residents were being affected more than others...

With water rising in the streets of New Orleans and conditions rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that the tens of thousands of people now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers would have to be evacuated.

"The situation is untenable," Blanco said at a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking." What about all the people that are trapped in Ward 9 that were too poor to even get to the Superdome?
