I have no idea. All we have been hearing is how these people have had no food or water for days (and might I say the no water part HAS to be an exagerration, or there would be lots of DEAD people in the Superdome) and then the FEMA guy comes on and says that trucks have been taking MTE's and water in for FOUR days.

I think the reporters are taking anyone's comments and not checking to see who is rigiht.

Oh, and who is this Ebbert guy quoted as FEMA isn't there? The whole thing is making me nuts.

And TV channels keep going on and on about how there is no communications, but are they doing anything to help? NO.

I think the area is just so large that you can't get to all areas of the city.

As the reporters were complaining about no water, everybody I saw behind them as they were complaining, had a bottle of water in their hands.

Did anyone see Chertoff's presser yesterday? If I remember correctly, he quoted an area of 90,000 sq mi being affected. 90,000 sq miles.
