The majority of the people who were evacuated were very grateful for the ride out of New Orleans and for shelter from the storm. A few people were gripe-y. Some had warrents for their arrest. Many of the same North Louisiana folks that provided food etc. for the evacuees of Gustav are folks who have repeatedly volunteered in clean-up and rebuilding efforts for victims of Katrina and Rita. What else would you have us do Mr. Quigley?
