I thought Shepherd Smith was gonna blow a gasket yesterday afternoon. He was just aghast that no one had brought any food or water to the people on the bridges who had been dropped off there after having been plucked off the rooftops. At one point, Shepherd had a woman sitting in the shade of their van with a 5 day old baby. She and several other family members had been forced to their attic after the flooding started. Someone came by in a boat the rescued them, then dropped them off at the highway and told them to walk toward the Superdome. She was exhausted and the baby was burning up. Shep's producer jumped in front of a passing police car and had them take the mother and baby to where they could get treated.
I saw that. I have been wondering why they have not airdropped water and MRE's in small pkgs like they did in Afghanistan early on. The gov. could order that without waiting for Federal. Beats me. Seems like all she ccan do is get teary and wring her hands. People are going to start dropping like flies from dehydration and heatstroke. Trucking it in i taking too long.
