What they are afraid of is the levee's were weakened by Katrina and not that Rita will hit here, but the rain we will get from it. Any large amount of rain, the levee's are going to break and New Orleans will probably flood worse that it did with Katrina. That is what they are worried about. They have ordered the people to leave again and no one is being allowed to come back in.

Mayor Nagen and the officials were very much in disagreement because of the levee's.. He's saying "come on back" they are saying not to. There is no potable water,if a fire breaks out, they have no way to fight it, it is unsafe health wise. I think Nagin was wrong to give them hope of returning back to their homes by saying to come on back. Most of those homes are unlievable and we have yet to see what happens to people's health because of it.
