"She told us something very scary, on Wed when she was calling at about 10:30am, she actually (you have to know her to know that only she could do this) got to talk to a man with the Red Cross with trucks, supplies, etc in their trucks only awaiting the Governor to allow them to get in."
Can you verify this? Would she? Because there was some talk about the dems stonewalling the rescue effort and if so, then Blanco is in on it.
Somebody had control of the checkpoint(s). Ought to be pretty clear who, after the situation settles down.
