Brian Williams reported in the 5:30pm news that through all of this at the Superdome, not a single announcement has been made to the crowd, no information whatsoever.
What an excellent job of planning for an emergency that they knew was coming and had almost 40 years to prepare for. I guess the mayor doesn't know if he has the legal authority to give out just a bit of info to try and calm the restlessness and anxiety.
MS Gov. Haley Barbor - "The damage is catastrophic. There are areas that we still can't get into. There are areas that got 6-7 feet of water this time that didn't flood during Camille." He is sounding rather pissed that so many people stayed.
The Plan that we kept hearing New Orleans had was to let some people fend for themselves, apparently.
Oh, and to meet with lawyers.
"not a single announcement has been made to the crowd, no information whatsoever. "
Pretty scarry ha?
