I did hear on wabc radio that three elderly people have died while being evacuated to super dome.

Initial reports said dehydration.

Wonder what that is about???

Evidently, the folks in nursing homes were left to fend for themselves. Some relatives were coming in to stay with them. Somebody yesterday said that in one nursing home, one nurse was left to look after all the residents.

They just probably didn't get enough liquid. Maybe were on IV bags and there was nobody to restart them, who knows.

What I can't imagine is a city who doesn't have evac plans for all their nursing homes.
