In a NY Times article, New Orleans’ residents speak out about how they don’t wish to leave their homes.

Ms. Harris said she did not want to leave. “I haven’t even run out of weed yet,” she said.

But she knows that fighting with police officers is futile.

“I’ll probably bitch and moan, but I’m not going to hole up,” she said.

And by Thursday afternoon, Kajun’s Pub had closed, and the vehicles previously parked outside were gone.

There was no indication whether Mr. Dobbs and the other people who had been drinking and joking six hours earlier had been evacuated or simply disappeared into the city.
