Good link, there were estimated to be 6,000 people there and thursday they started getting some minimal water supplies after 3 days. Only a few dozens of cases. Where was the heavy lift chinooks with pallet loads?

In any case the media feed on friday morning didn't show any further relief by noon when I stopped watching.

My point stands, too little, too late.

"My point stands, too little, too late."

Too little...I'll agree. The city let these people down by directing them to what was essentially an empty cave. There was NO prior planning for such an event. Too late...refer to my previous post. People suffered. It was miserable (most disaster areas are). But how many died? Or even came close? It would appear, not many (possibly none due to dehydration or starvation). I'll let those facts speak for themselves.
