Just asked for any extra available units from another district to escort 250 buses from 51-I10 to Sienna(??) toll plaza...
I'll take that as confirmation that the link to the scanner is real.
Thanks.
I was saying the "thousands dead" in general as has been bantered about in the media and FR and elsewhere.
Dead.
There are, however, live people from - Whoa! Surprise - New Orleans, who ought to be preserved in their alive state if at all possible.
Texas said come on to the Astrodome. Word got out. Living people - the ones we're currently concerned about - decided to take us up on it.
They made it. We're glad.
I honestly can't reduce it any further. The people you want to hate are still in New Orleans: looting, rioting, ripping tags off mattresses, pumping gas into unauthorized containers.
Hate them. Leave our refugees alone.
BTW, you call me DU one more time and I'm hitting the abuse button.
I still believe that lawlessness in New Orleans is getting people killed, and that the stolen bus will only contribute to that. But we can disagree on it. Also, I hope you are wrong about New Orleans being dead. Though I fear you are right.
Gotta go get a few hours sleep. Thank you all for being here.
Sounds like they're trying to get 500 buses moved.
State police net...
They are trying to corral over 500 (!!!!!) buses along I-10 to move them to NO!!!
At least, I think that was you.
There is NO "hoax" regarding the shooting.
The "POLICE SCANNER IN NOLA" thread here at FR was deleted on a whim based on the rankest hearsay; even though I CLEARLY posted WHO set up and was hosting the scanner feed on this deleted thread.
Once again- http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20238
Read this thread very carefully and tell me these people are staging a "hoax".
I should even have an mp3 file of the stream saving as I was listening at the exact moment of the shooting report.
Kind of frustrating when a thread one has devoted the past few hours contributing to is deleted for no real reason, I posted both of these scanner forum links on the NOLA thread here and also WHO was on the scanner feed.
So once again:
PFISH:
"The scanner is monitoring several different talkgroups. (Troops A, B, F, and G, All national guard, red cross, louisiana hospital assosc., department of health and hospitals, and a few others). Most traffic is on LSP Troop B F1 and National Guard B - Admin. For the live stream, you have to statically edit a config file with the talkgroups you want to have text tags.. here is my file:
656, LSP Troop B F1
41264, Office of Public Health
20656, National Guard B - Admin
20688, National Guard B - Ops
20720, National Guard B - Security
3216, LSP Troop F F1
6800, LSP Statewide F1
43376, Louisiana Hospital Association
scanning,Scanning...
Also, the scanner is in West Monroe, Louisiana.. about an hour from shreveport and just below the Arkansas border. Alot of the people that fled new orleans came here. We have about 12 shelters set up."
PFISH a hoaxster?
Here's the thread that initiated the scanner feed, btw,
http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20219
"They made it. We're glad."
And just think of the many, many more thousands that left BEFORE the storm. Where will they be in 3-4 months? (surely not still at the Holiday Inn in Memphis.) Friends, relatives and strangers will need to reach out for a long time.
And New Orleans IS dead. It will come back to life, but I fear the 3-4 months some people are talking about is wishful thinking.
Exhausted. Heading for bed.
Hoping for good news tomorrow for those stranded people in the Superdome. And prayers for the safety of the soldiers and police.
I went outside after that thread was pulled and called out to the bears in the woods. I was furious! I wasn't going to turn the 'puter back on but am now glad that I did. I couldn't believe that this could have been a hoax after all my years of listening to police scanners, this sounded as real as real can be. I still will wait for MSM to report about the soldier who was "shot" before I believe anything.
However, that being said, I do believe that the scanner was real, IMO. I've been called a fool before, so bring it on. LOL ;)
I think the Net that is up on Shoutcast is the State Police Command Net...
No tactical chatter, just internal State police chatter between command groups
