Too broke to split
Fred Clark blogged about an article at DelawareOnline.com suggesting:
People living in the path of Hurricane Katrina's worst devastation were twice as likely as most Americans to be poor and without a car -- factors that may help explain why so many failed to evacuate as the storm approached.....
Two in 10 households in the disaster area had no car, compared with 1 in 10 in nationwide.
Technically that still leaves 8 in 10 with cars, probably an average of enough seats to evacuate not only the people, but also the pets. Imagine evacuating by carpool.
