what exactly is going on ?!?!
I just saw fox news and they are screaming to let the people out! they said hundreds are still on the bridge without food or water and they wont even let them walk out of the city !?!
I saw geraldo at the convention center claiming thousands of people are still there waiting for help! what the heck!!! I thought the entire convention center was evacuated earlier today !
I don't understand what's going on!
Take news reports with a grain of salt and a bucket of skepticism. The reporters are hysterical and I'm sure there's some serious misinformation and exaggeration going on.
The convention center, as opposed to the Superdome, does still have people in it, or did earlier today.
Apparently due to lack of cell phone communication, no one in that city govt even knew that people had gathered at the convention center.
It was not supposed to be used for this, was not the plan, so in the confusion, no one got the message that there were 1000s of people there.
Word is finally getting out, Shep and now Geraldo are talking about it.
Somebody else said they're not being allowed to just walk out because there's nowhere else to go except one of the other parishes that is already overwhelmed with their own hurricane victims, and can't take anymore.
They'll be rescued by tomorrow, I'd guess.
