Why does White Anglo-Saxon Calgary have a serious flood with 100,000 people evacuated with almost a complete lack of drama? As far as can be determined only 3 people died being swept away by a river and only 1,500 people showed up at emergency shelters provided. No Superdome disaster - no FEMA death camps. Go figure.
Calgarians, for the most part, are quite wealthy with multiple vehicles to get out of Dodge and motorhomes to live in or at least a credit card to rent a room. They also have this thing called friends and relatives to bunk with.
I suspect society in New Orleans broke down because it was broken long before Katrina.
