Gooberner Blanco said that NO had to be evacuated.
Are these two on the same page?
You would think the state gov't would have some way to communicate with big city mayors even when most telecommunication devices can't work.
Did anyone else just hear the 2 callers on MSNBC? They are members of the group that gives the haunted history tours. One is in an apartment in the french quarter. Water is rising; people are walking around the streets below her apartment with guns. Her boss called next, he is in his home, is upstairs with 2 ft of water (toxic soup, he said) in his downstairs. Sounds very nervous. Knows about the evacuation order but as he said and I think most of us realize, there really is no way out of there. My God, this is so awful.
There was a post earlier today that the communications system is totally down, including the internal police radio, the trunking system they used had failed. Said that the President had to use short wave radio to contact the mayor. Can't vouch for how much of that is true.
"Are these two on the same page?"
No.
Did you hear Aaron Brown ask him when New Orleans would be New Orleans again, and he said eight weeks? Eight weeks????????????
I must have heard wrong.
