Folks, just logged on for the afternoon but wondered if anyone else has heard this 71 year old woman they are interviewing now on Fox News.
She's got food, she's got lots of containers with water, she's got flashlights, and she's safe. She filled up a bunch of pots and containers with water. She's even got dog food for her dog. (She's probably armed if any looter decides to show up!) She's coordinated with her neighbors. She sounds like she'd be a good Freeper.
Heck, I think they need to appoint her as the director of emergency planning for New Orleans.
She sounds like a great American - resourceful, prepared, and ready to do what needs to be done.
That said, I hope they find her soon.
Sounds like she remembers her old Civil Defense training from the Cold War (or earlier). That's exactly what you're supposed to do - fall back to your shelter, regroup, band together with neighbors and allies, and then advance or continue or whatever the situation demands.
She prepared, but stayed behind to care for her old dog, which is all she has of family in this world.
She is a survivor with a great attitude, and for any age, has a mind as sharp as a tack. I love this woman, and pray someone who needs a Grandmother with a positive influence takes her in... close to her home :)
