1. Did you see the picture of trying to cool the 89 yr old?

She is dieing and you can tell by the look on the other people's faces, adults and kids. People who survive are going to need help recovering. crap crap crap. tragic.

2. Yes- and the mother and child on the curb amid the garbage

And the woman's hand upraised as the tank rolled by. crap.

3. How about the woman holding the baby

and talking about how hot he is and he has a hard time waking up?

I have seen it 3 or 4 times and it still makes me cry.

This baby was so limp. I wonder if he is okay tonight.

4. Does it cool off at night in NO? It's so humid, I wonder. n/t

5. And that's all they got

One drop from one chopper. Hardly enough for thousands of people. Hardly enough to last those thousands overnight.
