The reason for my opinion is the intervies i just heard on Fox news.The head of the AL NG said his governer issued and mandotory evac a full 24 hours before neighboring states and activated the NG at that moment.They had aid flowing almost immed. after the winds and water started to subside.Only 2 deaths were reported in AL and this is a direct result of that states preparedness.


Just curious as to where the Alabama Governor's declaration of mandatory evacuations is and his emergency declaration. I couldn't find them on the Alabama.gov website yet.

The Gov. of Louisianna declared a state of emergency on Aug. 26. Did she order mandatory evacuations? If so, when? I thought that only the locals did .so. (or did so too late)

There is so much mis-information going around, even on the media <gasp> and from gov't officials <gasp again> that I'm trying to keep my own timeline.

It's more likely the result of the state's location vis a vis landfall. And the state's recent experiences with Ivan and Dennis.

Regardless of who did what right or wrong.
