Well, It isn't just about NO. Here is a report on neesler AFB in Miss.
Notice they didn't get out 'til 9/1.

Anyone familiar with La, Miss. etc knows the states are heavly forested.
Especially the northern parts. I heard a news crew say it took them 19
hours to get to the Miss. coast from Atlanta. They had to cut their way
through the downed trees across the interstate with a chainsaw to get
through.

Latest word we got from Keesler (1 Sep 05) is that though the base is
pretty messed up there was NO loss of life. The commissary and BX are
toast as is most of family housing and most of the rest of the base.
The folks that rode out the storm at Keesler just came out and had their
first hot meal since it hit...6000 meals on the first go around. They
currently have no phone, land-line or cell, and their runway is the only
one open in the area...only daylight, VFR flights allowed.. Bout it,
though we get a couple of updates per day.

And yes, there are mumblings about doing to Keesler what was done to
Homestead, but only mumblings, not even rumors.

You are absolutely right! If you listen to the press, only NO matters.
