Great find. Please post it as extended news.
Then we can have it documented on Free Republic before it disappears.
Does insurance cover a fire after a flood? How could they prove how much dameage was there before the fire?
But before I sign off......

2:28 P.M. - WWL-TV: Wildlife and Fisheries has said they are no longer asking people to volunteer their time and boats to go on rescue missions because of security concerns.
2:25 P.M. - (AP): The nation's airlines have been putting aside their own financial troubles to fly in supplies and take out refugees from hurricane devastated areas. Relief flights donated by airlines poured into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport today.
Here are other efforts:

2:22 P.M. - HOUSTON (AP): Passengers getting off buses from New Orleans may be in sight of the end of their nearly week-long ordeal. But first, they have to go through screening.
Police in Houston are guiding people through lines where they can undergo pat-down searches.
Paramedics wearing rubber gloves are helping medical teams conduct a triage operation. Kidney patients and others who might need immediate medical attention are being transported to hospitals.
The evacuees are also being offered icy bottles of water as they get off the buses. Disposable diapers are being passed out to those with small children.
Many of the people are asking total strangers for a few seconds of cellphone time to try to locate loved ones.
""Hell, yeah! Hell yeah!" "We've been sleeping on the ... ground like rats," Levy said."
Or like backpackers.
Wuss.
"I say burn this whole ... city down.""
Yeah, with Levy in it.
It had been spared, from the likes of it, initially, as the storm moved east. The flooding in NO is due to levee failure some time after the storm passed. But comparing NO to Biloxi right after the storm, where whole buildings were gone in Biloxi, NO looked spared.
We have had 125 come into CLT area hosps. in the last 36 hours.
Holy moly. Fox showing inside of Dome. Completely trashed.
Yes that is all true. My husband is part of FEMA and all these media people and such dont know the laws that actually govern when FEMA can go in and how they do it. Its the state of Louisianas fault if there is blame, but I think it is just too big a disaster.
Why the hell would they put their emergency generator in their basement in one of the countries worst flood zones?

Can you even believe all these people, even on this forum, screaming because aid didn't get to NO Monday afternoon?
Scanner Update-
I-10 and Causeway
Requesting manpower for security and food/water.
There are between 8,000 to 10,000 people stuck there and need transportation out. They are being brought there and dropped off by buses and military vehicles.
Command does not know why they are being brought there. It was originally supposed to be a medical collection point but that idea was abandoned. However, no one told the buses or military.
Just heard on scanner....I won't say where....but 8 to 10 thousand people have been dropped off and nobody knows why. Sending additional personell to deal with "issues"
Right, but those rates are known, and might not be quick enough to strand a boat.
If that's all it is, fine, but if something else is up, deliberate breaches or restored pumps, it's news.
