At minimum they knew they'd have thousands of people, no water, no power, no sewage, and streets too filled with debris to let them leave for days.

They should have had truckloads of water, MREs, porta-potties, bedding and common medicines by the thousands of dosages.

But really- they should have never even have been there at all, and those people have my sympathy because they thought by going to the Superdome that they were doing the RIGHT thing, not just the ONLY thing.
