Apparently the woman was in a rest home in St Bernard Parish. Her son should have evacuated her before the hurricane . If not he should have made his way there and rescued her. third how did she survive the week and then "drownded"? Was there some new higher flood waters?While I sympathize with anyone who lost a loved one, espcially a mother, the story seems suspect to me...Oh having phone contact was pretty lucky too...
A Level 5 hurricane has been approaching 4-5 days, the NHC is constantly warning. Now the rest home his mother is in does not need to be evacuated early? And none of the nursing homes were evacuated. And none of the ventilator patients at the hospitals were evacuated. This is ludicrous folks. TX has the gulf coast too and you can be assured with 4-5 days warning, the helpless will be evacuated. The Mayors, Gov Perry, and ordinary citizens will see to it. Something smells in NO and it isn't just the shrimp.
