Yes, this is alo more than just NO. My in-laws reported in from Hattiesburg, MS this morning (80 miles inland from the coast).
Things could get worse there very quickly. My in-laws live in a suburb of Hattiesburg and there have been generators stolen left and right from people's garages.
No lie, someone started a lawnmower in one of their neighbor's garages and left that running so they would think the generator was stil there. They have to chain the generator to the door frame every night then barricade the garage door.
People have drilled holes in the gas pumps to siphon gas.
One thing that needs to be done fairly quickly is to get some fly-over planes with banners for messages about supply and gas arrival, no one knows when things are coming in. It seems like perhaps some private pilots could get involved in this effort and coordinate with FEMA..just a suggestion.
Sounds like some of the military that Bush is ordering into New Orleans needs to be spread around to other communities that are having problem with people that just DO NOT know how to act....
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and all of the complaining is coming from New Orleans (I know, it IS the worse off), but people in Miss. and Alabama need help also.
Just like those Vietnamese mentioned in above posts...they are waiting patiently for their turns...so no one knew of their plight...
It is the people that are doing their best, and being aware of what is going on around them, that I want to help.
