I was watching that as well. When I heard that rescuers had to stop hospital evacuations because of selfish people trying to steal the rescue boats and to have their generator stolen as well, I was appalled! It is shameful that criminals are preventing those trying to help from doing their jobs. This one seemed right up there with the looters terrorizing the hospitals.

Also on this broadcast on CNN, evacuees trying to get into the Astrodome and being turned away because they are not part of the Superdome group. My question is, what to do with these peo[ple. Wouldn't it be easier and lead to eventual rebuilding in New Orleans, if FEMA was to rent land outside of the city, and set up a tent/trailer city as they did after Hurricane Andrew? This city really helped to end some of the problems we had immediately following the storm with looting etc.

How is it that people could be at the astrodome, if they weren't bussed there from the superdome? Can you clarify? And how could they turn anybody away?

I certainly hope the people who actually heeded the call to evacuate don't end up being the one's with no place to go... that bothered me a lot.
