They drove in. Probably evacuated to Texas, and heard that the Astrodome would be open to those needing shelter. I guess here is one of those times it stinks to be working middle class. You spend money on lodging for a few nights, but then are told not to return home and with money running low, you find yourself in need of shelter and meals for your family, but not being a part of the initial masses in the Superdome you are out of luck...These were decent looking families in need of help, and as one worker told CNN, it broke her heart to turn them away...

This is wrong. I hope other shelters / families in the state can take these people.

So who is going to help the middle-class? Are only the poor going to get monetary assistance? The poor will get LOTS of help anyway.

Any ideas?
