I've been gone for a bit (I had to stop watching for a bit to regain myh sanity). What's happened in, say, the last 2 hours?
"FoxNews says 9,000,000 MRE's have been delivered to SuperDome. Weren't they supposed to have a bunch of MRE's stored there before the hurricane hit? What happened to them?"
Did you see the 40ish woman they interviewed yesterday at the Superdome, who looked rested and clean, complaining that they had to eat MRE's.....and they "weren't even heated up." Complained that they weren't given "a hot meal since they arrived!" I could not believe she said that!
...and the media want a story, not the truth.
9,000,000 MRE's will feed 30K souls for 100-300 days.
Now you see why the 72 hour rule works. Don't mess around with one pallet. Move aid in in quantity.
Go Guard!
An additional two new fires--just reported by Shep Smith
I was asking somebody else about MS. I would still expect the toll in NO to be high. But who knows how many at this point?
People can die in floods, too. The deaths are expected to be drownings, or people who died in their attics, or who died from dehydration, illness, or murder.
I hope the number isn't 10,000, but it will be more than a thousand.
where did you get that info? FNC said LA, not MS.
They need Rudy!
Hopefully, the residents of New Orleans don't follow this man's wishes to burn down what is left.
They did it to Watts, Newark, and other cities in the USA in the 1960's.

Well, that makes sense. He speaks their kind of language.
Airlift = aluminum bridge.
The gamble paid off and relief is arriving in quantity.
Big thumbs up to the outnumbered police and Guard for holding the line long enopugh for the outside effort to organize and gather steam.
He's probably referring to the post from yesterday (or Wednesday?) from MFH.
There will be dead in the flooded houses probably. Dead in attics where they went to escape the floods and couldn't get out. Then you have the dead from exhaustion, murder.
Houston
Opening up Reliant Center next to Astrodome for refugee processing
Opening up Houston Convention Center
Also outside Reliant Arena the, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was checking in animals.
One of the animals checked in was a five-year-old golden retriever mix named Precious. She and her owner swam for two days to escape the flooding. She was being loaded into a carrier that will be taken to the SPCA, which has taken in 300-400 animals onsite.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced Thursday that Dallas would host 25,000 refugees at Reunion Arena and 25,000 others would relocate to a San Antonio warehouse at KellyUSA, a city-owned complex that once was home to an Air Force base
