if nola doesn't have two cops per highway intersection, maybe they could have called in some reinforcements from those towns that always seem to have four cruisers prepared to respond to a report of black teenagers on bicycles

silicone thrills posted:lol holy poo poo people were just like waiting next to an exit to die? yes, they were standing in the little indent in the hallway, because that ostensibly would give cover, because they didn't want to push into the huge double doors with the words EMERGENCY spread across, just in case it wasn't really an emergency, you know? what with the screaming and guns and yelling and all. i did not have that issue

Thought New Orleans had the problem of the state of Louisiana just hoovers up all the money it can out of Nola leaving them with very little money to work with.

i can barely program but I'm pretty sure i could take a list of onramps and a list of cops and randomly assign a cop to each onramp I'm not saying it's the best way to do it. not at all. but on the other hand it's a better idea than resigning to drowning thousands of people on a causeway bridge

I think the forecasts were spot on, even remarkably good: https://twitter.com/splillo/status/1431997950478020608 Storms always strengthen quickly when they are heading over warm ocean water so uh this was all predicted.
