President of the Jefferson Parish. ......missed the name too. But he was crying because the National Guard didn't rescue someone's mother who was stranded in a nursing home on Monday. And the woman called for help on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, asking if someone was going to come rescue her. She drowned Friday night. I missed who the woman was. But as the "President of Jefferson Parish" (LA) was telling this story, he got very emotional, talking with a high voice and and tears started pouring down his face. Blaming the U.S government the whole time. Also said he's "sick of these press conferences."

And NO one in the Parrish went to help her. How utterly sad and despicable

Geez -- you'd think mandatory evacuation would mean to at least clear out the nursing homes.
