30,000 people is what he is saying, but he is also saying it's 6 days after the storm...I am tired of hearing how help wasn't there on time. Katrina hit Monday, even the media said they dodged the bullet. Floods hit Tuesday! This morning (Friday) caravans of help were coming in. Not enough credit is being given to these organizations coming in to help
I love how no one can count days. BTW, what the heck is O'Reilly doing? Is he the new head of FEMA or something?
The clock on MSNBC said 4 days and 16 hours
I watched Geraldo. That Police Chief kept talking about crowd on the brink of riot.
Did you see the crowd? Perfectly peaceful, sickly and exhausted looking. I didn't see any potential riot unless of course it is whipped up.
Before the flood waters started rising, the Salvation Army had trucks there handing out food. One of the FOX reporters mentioned the "Baptist Men" being there Monday afternoon as the storm was still blowing by. Salvation Army were handing out sandwiches and water when people landed at the freeway after being rescued from rooftops. Red Cross vehicles were shown stranded in the flood waters along with residents' vehicles. Organizations were on the ground and helping since Day One, but they just haven't been able to help quickly or vastly enough (and apparently not to the tastes of the evacuees -- "I haven't had a hot meal in three days.")
