A woman just called into Rush and said her sister was visiting in NO...and has been stuck at a hotel in the French Quarter...yesterday, the hotel charged all of the guests $75 for a seat on a bus that was coming to take them to Houston Airport...

The bus was confiscated and never made it...and they all had to re-check into hotel...no elec. no toilets...so this morning the hotel took all of the visitor WALKING to the Convention center...and now she can't get a hold of her sister...

The hotel CHARGING for a seat on a bus...!!!

BTW, I know you were offering your house, but I have to say, after seeing and hearing about a lot of what is happening, I don't know that I would feel safe just getting a "random" person or family to stay with me....

What I read, I think on CNN, is that the people at the hotel pooled their money together and the hotel called up some busses. Then FEMA put the kabosh on it, took their busses, and told people to go to the Dome to get on one of those busses.
