Morgan City Louisiana reports millions fled Gustav but debates linger about overreaction and future compliance. Residents describe shelter discomfort while officials defend evacuations as safety to avoid grave danger. With Hanna and more storms ahead, leaders push harder to keep people out of harm.
In New Orleans many undocumented residents chose to remain as Gustav hit due to fear of arrest on offered evacuation transport. Carlos Mendoza, a Honduran in his twenties, said about half stayed with seven others in a nearby apartment near day labor hubs. Officials pledged not to arrest evacuees, but concern persisted. Immigrant-rights groups estimate up to 30,000 illegals live in the city, with unknown numbers who stayed behind.
