On Friday, as Hurricane Dennis struck Cuba, Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard wrongly called for an evacuation of the WHOLE parish. Why not just the lower part of the parish, i.e., Grand Isle and Lafitte. No wonder people don't know who to listen to prior to a major hurricane coming. Rightly, people go with their gut feelings on these things, and not officials. The prediction is when the next big one comes and Aaron calls for an evacuation, people won't bother to listen to him. He says he wanted the hords of people to avoid traffic nightmares of Hurricane Ivan last year. He might have been a bit gun shy given the mess created by state police for Ivan. Of course, most people listened to Jim Cantori predict correctly that Dennis was headed to the Florida Panhandle.
