I don't want to criticize, because I don't understand the logistics involved, but I can't understand why they can't airlift in some water and food to these people. Maybe they are and we aren't seeing it, but I keep hearing how they can't get in because the roads are down.

They aren't Shep is in the middle of these people. A three-year was having heat stroke this afternoon and finally his crew dropped water and ice down to them to help revive him...

Fox just showed the evil military unloading water and food at the Superdome. Looked like a pretty efficient operation, too.

We had no problem doing that in the Berlin airlift back in 1947, a half a world away.

Helicopters have been tied up rescuing people; military is now there with the big trucks picking up people that have been stranded all over the city.

Coast Guard's primary mission right now is search and rescue. My question is How did Shep get there?
