Subject: they had warning

I read of the warnings probably (if my memory is correct here!) about 24 hours before the hurricane hit. It was all over Yahoo news. From what I read, most of the people remaining in New Orleans did not have the money to get out. There were also some people who just flat out refused to leave their homes. I believe most of them were in denial and would not allow themselves to believe that it would get as bad as it did.
