Im watching WWLTV.com.

Several big Helicopters (capacity 12 to 16) and a reporter present at I10 and causeway.
Masses of people (1000s easily) waiting for rescue. The sick are being flown out 1st.

I think hearing the Helicopters are calming the crowds.
More come to the area as some leave.
Some paramedics present and doing doing what they can with small triage tents.
The heat is taking a toll.
The crowd is getting water and food though.
Buses on the way.

It was just broadcast on WTAM radio.

Just got back online and watching TV. Looks like things are picking up. I bet you are right about the helicopters...it would be a sweet sound. I imagine a lot of these people are in shock.
