You still haven't explained where you would get the water from.They have one helicopter that dropped one sandbag an hour ago.

No, I guess you couldn't imagine where water would come from.

Doctors appealing for help

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Doctors at two public hospitals in New Orleans have called The Associated Press to plead for rescue. The physicians say they are nearly out of food and power and have been forced to move patients to higher floors to escape looters.

Doctor Norman McSwain says he and his colleagues at Charity Hospital have turned to The AP as a last resort. McSwain says he tried calling the mayor and the governor, using any “inside pressure” possible, to no avail.

McSwain says there’s minimal water. The food amounts to fruit bowl punch. The scene is similar at University hospital.

Another doctor, Lee Hamm, says somehow the two public facilities have been forgotten -- or ignored.

Levee Repairs under way

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army Corps of Engineers says a breach in the New Orleans levee system will be repaired by day’s end.

But a second section will take longer because of difficulties ferrying equipment and material to that part of the city.

Corps commander Carl Strock says the focus is to stop the water from entering the city so that draining can begin.
