Thought the Police looter were getting food & water for flood victims, not expensive good. Must be two different situations.
Yes, ineptitude reigns in N.O.
How often can Mayor and Governor say "everyone must leave" and then offer them no way out. Should they swim away? Up the Mississippi? Out to sea?
Governor just said 20,000 in the Dome, conditions degenerating rapidly . . . we would like to take them out . . . we need to get babies and kids out . . . yada, yada, but NO PLAN to do it!!!
I'm just wondering why alternating sections were lifted out of place while the others were left there (as opposed to all of them being lifted out of place).
No, we're women.
I've heard legal concerns for #1 (hadn't heard of other states where a mandatory evac would entail seizure of private vehicles/property, but that's the case in Louisiana). As for #2, I'd really like to know that one as well. They tasked the buses to only take people as far as the SuperDome, and then they stopped that at 6 pm.
They'll have deaths on their hands at the Dome within 48 hours at this rate -- and that's no exaggeration.
I thought you were one of those bashing me for saying that N.O. did not dodge the bullet and was hit hard. Very very hard, if I am mistaken I am sorry.
Actually he was asked about a timetable and said before the additional pump problems tonight he would have thought 8 weeks. But with the problems tonight at least an additional 4 weeks to that. Which would make it 3 months.
"I think if they honored the flights they had that day it would have helped."
Helped how many? Do you know? You can't blame the airlines. They had to get out. Besides, there were reports of tornadoes by then. Read posts #2567 and 2673. They have the right idea.
We already got a taste of that in 1989 when they had the October suprise quake... just starting to get to be the time of year for "earthquake weather" as we used to say in So. California... Better pray it doesn't come since one of our largest refining areas is in that Bay Area.
A song from The Partridge Family CD will make it all better.
Bronco Blanco is on the air again.....
This has to be a joke.
"Beyond that, your classless attempt at some racist angle on fingerpointing for the design of the city of New Orleans"
Put the motors and diesels on the second floor - connected bvy a long shaft to the submersed pump - its a no brainer.
You would think the state gov't would have some way to communicate with big city mayors even when most telecommunication devices can't work.
Mandatory evacuation was not given until the president called the mayor and pressed him to order the evacuation.
Just thought I'd add that reminder.
When the mayor issued his mandatory evacuation orders, he mentioned that police and city officials would be able to commandeer any establishment or goods needed for the crisis.
I think they have trouble with the Mississippi River and not telling the whole truth. Otherwise it makes no sense.
What is she afraid of -- LA media asking tougher questions than Larry King?
