The goofy governor's latest excuse is that they cannot communicate.
I read somewhere that comm equipment was being donated - something like 3000 units. Anyone have anything on that?

8:05 A.M. WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush says relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina are not acceptable.
8:03 A.M. - John Ballard, Tangipahoa Parish : Between six and eight dead in Tangipahoa.
8:02 A.M. - (AP) An explosion at a chemical depot jolted residents awake early Friday, illuminating the pre-dawn sky with red and orange flames over a city awash in corpses and under siege from looters. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Vibrations from the blast along the Mississippi River and a few miles east of the French Quarter were felt all the way downtown. A series of smaller blasts followed and then a cyclone of acrid, black smoke.
To jittery residents of New Orleans, it was yet another fearful sight in a city that has deteriorated rapidly since Katrina slammed ashore Monday morning.
The goofy governor's latest excuse is that they cannot communicate.
There is NO consistent communications ability there. There hasn't been for days. The hurricane took it all out.
I bet some radios are coming out of NIFC.
