Residents? The tourist couple I heard was trying to leave and there was no transportation. I'm sorry for the poor. Without money, there's nowhere to go and no way to get there.
On another thread was an article that broke my heart.
Found it!
Carr said he has remained in contact via the Internet with friends in New Orleans, many of them police and rescue workers.
"A lot of policemen are dead," Carr said. "They sent the second shift home Sunday night and told them to just come back for the regular shift the next day. The officers were text messaging that they were trapped in their homes."
Yeah, they were residents who didn't want their places getting looted. I guess that's a very understandable sentiment, given what is happening now. I never heard that about the rescue workers and police who had to stay, that's really heartbreaking.
