Just heard on scanner in New Orleans

[BobMorr]

Just heard that they were holting delivery of MREs and water to the Superdome because of the danger there. The person delivering couldn't believe it and started swearing up and down about making the delivery. People are still not getting food and water. Thought things were finally getting better. This is bullshit!!

1. Can you provide a link to what scanner you are listening to?

Evacuees at Cajundome wait for first lady, and for lunch

As the first lady toured the Red Cross shelter at the Cajundome this morning, a line of evacuees waiting to eat their lunch trickled out the door of the Dome.

First lady Laura Bush arrived about midday to tour the shelter and meet evacuees.

By 12:50 p.m., the trays of food were still covered and hungry evacuees stood in line, holding empty plates. Rice, beans and jambalaya were on the menu. About that time, volunteers began rolling the carts of food into position to serve.

7. Thanks Bob!!

I am at work right and will listen all day.

I used to complain about having to work on Saturdays...My outlook has changed. I am happy to be alive today, and happy to have a job, a home and a family that is safe...I said it after 9/11 and I am reaffiriming today that I will never complain about little things again.

5. Why is this happening? I don't understand why they can't deliver..

food, water, medical and other supplies. Is anyone giving an explanation for this? What is the danger. How many more people are going to die because of this.

8. If they have their way--ALL of them

Smells more and more like LIHOP

[HereSince1628]

25. IMHO, this is the problem with stupid people thinking...

If the deliveries were stopped I'd bet a steak dinner that it's because some manager thinks everyone is going to be evacuated so there is not going to be a need there.

9. CNN has reported the buses have been stopped from

evacuating the people at the Dome, no reason why.

Edited to correct error: I had put the Convention Center but it was the Dome, I have heard NO news about evacuations at the Center at all, why not, I wonder.

[CottonBear]

12. CNN reporting the people may have to stay another day. Nat'l Guard stopped

WTF? Charity (read: public) hospital is still not evacuated.
Private hospital across the street was totally evacauted yesterday.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. Unless they have been dropped food and water, the staff that is still

left are going to start to die.

[RandiFan1290]

10. Is he saying "Voodoo Op" ??????

I heard it a few times. Anyone else hear that?

[DistressedAmerican]

13. I Believe It Is The Operations Base Name.

Sounds more ominous than it is.

[annabanana]

21. sounds racist to me. . . . n/t

[Uben]

14. I believe....

... a lot of the reason they are stopping aid from reaching NO is because they want people to leave and are afraid if the aid arrives, it will prolong the length of time people are able to stay there. In other words, they do not want to provide incentive for people to stay.
They want everyone out!

[CantGetFooledAgain]

15. So what means do they have to get out??

This is insanity.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

16. They have been locked in and cannot leave n/f/t

[CantGetFooledAgain]

17. So if the people are locked in...

...how can they justify stopping the supplies from entering the city?

[Roland99]

18. That was the Conv. Ctr., wasn't it? Not the Superdome.

Superdome should be all but emptied now.


Were troops being called back to the airport for an arrival by Kindasleazy?

[Connie_Corleone]

20. I think the Superdome is almost empty.

There are still thousands of people at the convention center.

[annabanana]

22. I heard "only 2000" left at superdome. . . n/t

[BobMorr]

23. Superdome

No' it was the Superdome that was reported on. Totally disorganized cluster (#%@$)! We need leadership. Where is it?
