President Bush: "We are dealing with one of the worst national disasters in our nation's history." Push has appropriated vast federal resources to assist with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
78,000 people are currently in shelters. New Orleans evacuation continues. 10,000 additional National Guard troops have been called to service.
Hospitals are running low on supplies, and public health concerns include water borne disease, poor sanitation, food and drinking water contamination and shortages, mosquitoes, carbon monixide poisoning from electricity generators, lack of childcare, and the special needs of the elderly.

Tropical Storm 12
I have no idea but like I said it started the same way each of the 3 times. The second time I thought I had heard it all before and by the 3rd I was sure.
I'm not debating anything; I'm stating facts.
Some of you are trying to put lipstick on a pig.
reported by WHO? Some person on a message board? Gimmie a break.
It's a hoax. It is not a real feed. The website is owned by a couple of pranksters. Prankster's website: http://205.252.89.181 . Again, http://205.252.89.181:8000/live.m3u is a hoax.
I don't know what you heard, but I never heard anything repeat. What did you hear repeat, and with what frequency?
I can't get anything now.
Thank you for finding that out JerseyHighlander.
Hmm... I've got it up on WINAMP via shoutcast...
Has anybody kept a count of the number of hoaxes?
Crap.... pull the breaking thread.
Who peed in your coffee? If you don't want to know what's going on down there, you're on the wrong thread.
yeah...nobody here bothered to go to the main url page...I was waiting for someone else to notice
Great. Does this mean we've all downloaded a virus?
Just got a feed up on Winamp, via shoutcast, but I haven't identified who it is yet....
A Lt. just asked for an APC to meet them...
First of all, you are once again wrong. Fox News and other sources reported that prisoners were, in fact, released this afternoon.
And secondly, you're a complete A$$.
Once again you are invoking false accusations, this time based on religion. Whether that or race, you refuse to address the issue, which is the lawlessness of a group that steals a bus and drives to Houston. One can only conclude that you are unable to address the fundamental issue because of base pettiness.
I suggest you chill out pal this is a discussion board. It was posted as being reported on BOR Bill OReilly tonight. You can weigh it however you like.
I have friends and family there, I have a friend who works for WDSU and I have a friend who is a BR cop who has been sent to the Superdome. Im sorry if Im not goig to sit back and watch someone just make up a story about the NOPD releasing prisoners from the jail and then when confronted that person saying "I dont have time to look for facts"
he wasnt asking a question....he was promoting a lie
Different NET..
They are trying to verify ithe "Dome Incident"...
Said Homicide was called on the other net...
Apc meeting Lt. in front of bell south building..
The bad news for the thugs is that they will be remembered and they won't be there for the rebuilding.They'll slink back home where family and money is, as it's always been. And we could probably call them dead-enders.Where will they be? Houston? I bet they're thrilled about that.
The last bunch probably won't be supported nearly as much as before.
The Cindy Sheehan Effect?
Hope there's a law against faking police communications.
