I am not a Louisiana lawyer. I guess there may be emergency powers there which make it legal for the Mayor to give this order, but I can't imagine why. These people are certainly not acting rationally. I would have been out of there before you could say "gumbo", but freedom includes the right to be daft. I doubt whether camping out in your damaged and isolated New Orleans home is, for example, any more dangerous than climbing Everest. We assume that the mountaineering nut jobs who risk death for glory are adults capable of making their own choices. Why are these determined homeowners any different?
