Is that what Geraldo said? 25,000 at the convention center?
Where did that 4,500 come from? (I don't recall seeing/hearing anything about actual figures of people congregated there.)
The interviewed the Military honcho today on Fox and that was the figure he put forward. But think about it. Geraldo was talking about 25 thousand and the next morning they were all gone. You simply cannot evacuate that many people overnight.
