Supplies WERE delivered to the dome before the hurricane, because they knew people would be there before the hurricane.

Right. And now the media is denying it. Who delivered those supplies? Am I right that it was the National Guard? Am I right that there were 360,000 MREs? That would feed 30,000 people for four days. How many people were at the Superdome at any given time?

This article claims there up to 10,000 people, and the day after the hurricane there was no food. If that's true, they had to each eat at least 36 MREs in one day.

When the news was relayed about the Super Dome being opened up as a shelter of last resort, the citizens were told to bring food and water to last at least 3 days; however, some reports I've read said 5 days. Either way, they were NOT sent there expecting a luxury hotel experience -- more like a camping trip. I think the MREs were there just as a backup.
