I don't understand no water/food drops either...at the very least there should have been massive ATTEMPTS witnessed to do so by now.
I went shopping today and saw an entire Super Stop and Shop aisle full of water that is still sitting there tonight. You know, I'm going to call it and say I think it is obvious there is absolutely no good reason why a lot of water isn't being dropped regularly by now.
Here is an emergency with days notice...clearly we are not prepared well. I'm not saying whether we could or couldn't be, just observing the ugly and obvious. What if we had a different kind of emergency with NO notice?
There have been numerous airdrops around the city and on I-10 - reported by WWL and other sources. However, the people near the Superdome on I-10 could go back to SuperDome - there are now more supplies there, more airdrops.
There have been reports that water and food drops have been taking place throughout the day. However the scale of the disaster zone may keep it from being very visible.
