WFAA: Dallas to open Reunion Arena to 1000+ refugees. Current refugees in rec centers to be moved there. Expecting overflow refugees, will most likely be housed in an unspecified Fort Worth facility.
There is a new thread that says that "angry and desparate looters" are raiding the Children's Hospital and terrorizing the staff with 100 patients locked in....
I can't believe it...they are characterizing the LOOTERS as the victims here!!!
Has anyone heard from Shep?
the news blackout in downtown will occur shortly..followed by the army.
Yes he did. He's light years more capable than that idiot dingbat who is the governor here.
Gotcha on the expression. The typed word isn't that great for confering the nuances between expressing frustration for the small percentage and shock for the sheer numbers.
I've always like Favre.. and Green Bay in general...
I know he's in a hard place - needing to be with his family - not being able to get there. He really does not sound like he expects special treatment .. talking about getting a truck and taking them supplies...
Emotionally this has me sad - that made me glad to see someone stepping up as a normal person... talking.. making sense...
This is starting to feel like the fall of Saigon.
Go Texas! It WAS, after all founded by TN Volunteers...
WFAA: 85% of structures in Slidell destroyed.
Refugee children may register and attend DISD schools immediately, even without paperwork.
Looks like some parts of the US are decided on a policy of "help first, ask stupid questions later".
"Angry and desperate" is probably an accurate description. It's not painting them as "victims."
Yes... and I saw a report this morning that was unbelievable. The Superdome is completely surrounded by a "moat" of waist-deep+ water. There is no accessing it. And the refugees who have been brought to it, and come to it from their own wrecked homes are wandering around across the moat, not able to get to the shelter/food/water they'd heard was there.
Have they started evacuating the Superdome yet as we heard last night?
there were reports last night of them breaking into house to house in the remaining dry areas....one couple was 90 y.o. and scared to death...
CNN: Guy trying to rob bank in Gulfport.
won't be the first time.
also, some of the same looting footage is repeated. if it were all new, NOLA would have about 2000 winn-dixies stores, one on each corner.
