We are talking about people who do not have the means (ie a vehicle, the money to buy gas/a bus/plane ticket, etc.) but WANTED to leave.
On another note, I listened to the NPR special when it aired and it was a really good discussion about the disparity in perception that exist.

Yes you are talking about the people that didn't want to leave. Most of the people that were stranded, made the decision to stay and then when the shit hit the fan they decided it was time to leave. Unfortunatley it was too late. Fats Domino chose to stay. Once his house was underwater he couldn't get his Bentley started. Who is responsible?
