It's just starting to sink in.
Yes, if the food distribution situation in the southern ports has caused no exports to foreign countries there could be some severe shortages around the world.
Wow! I am so sorry to hear of such a loss. Words cannot make much difference but we all are here as a family. What more can be said?
Anderson Cooper just did his show from there. See if you can find out when it replays.
N.O.: I just heard 70% of the electric infrastructure needs to be rebuilt/ repaired. At least 4 weeks... Holy moley...
Great post. Was pinged to that info this afternoon, and immediately forwarded it to friends who are hoping to find out whether their home is still standing in Biloxi.
I wonder why the Clinton waste product didnt print that article in an American publication?
Shep has been fantastic. I have a new respect for him. If there is any justice he will win an award for his coverage.
What kind of Pastor are you?
Yet, how come Shep or one of his crew could not write out a handwritten sign and post it on the road down there giving information?
he tried to get the info from police but they dont know absolutely no coordination..areas to go to to be evacuated should be broadcast on radio & tv as wll as havinb police etc notified. each hospital should be contacted every few hours for an update as to their conditions and needs..Rescue, Damage Control, Evacuation simple things are not being done. Where is the Chief of Police? He should be on TV threatening looters and robbers. Is there any leadership in NO?
I will try to find it. Thank you.
Don-O - go police the thread that talks about the BLACK man who wrote what a disgrace it was that BLACKS were the predominant race that were doing the looting.
CBS:
Woman interviewed with her husband's dead body next to her.
She and many others are stranded on the interstate since officials can't evacuate them.
She tried to flag down police as her husband was dying yesterday, but they ignored her completely.
I agree with you. No more money to the Red Cross.
Catholic Charities and Salvation Army are much more efficient in getting aid to the needy.
Anderson Cooper just did an astonishing piece on the smell of death in a couple of the towns on the coast...going into houses that have been locked up for 3 days with people dead inside...
They're going house to house...in a recovery effort.
Beyond grim.
Essential supplies there. The authorities should help him drink it then shoot him.
A military helicopter lands to offload evacuees near a strip of Interstate-10 in Metarie, Louisiana, Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2005. Thousands of people were evacuated to the Interstate and then put on buses for undetermined destinations.
