Is it possible that people are still showing up in the 10's of thousands?

NG gets there... buses most out, hands out food and water to the few remaining... leaves .... then thousands MORE show up?

I heard somewhere at one point something to that effect.. that people were showing up at the dome or wherever faster than they were busing them out...

It would explain the incongruity between Shep/Geraldo's statements and the NG.. but who knows?

I have been listening to a live NG scanner feed where people evacuated from New Orleans are being off loaded from planes, processed, and then taken to two sites: Kelly and Levi Strauss. Very interesting to listen to the logistics of just what it takes to get everything taken care of at the other end. It sounds like the Kelly site is nearly full and they are beginning to take people to the Levi Strauss site, although they are still waiting on food, water, blankets and additional cots to arrive at the Levi site. So far I have only heard of one problem with someone who was evacuated. A plane due to arrive at their location has an unruly passenger, who will be dealt with when the plane lands.
