http://www.radioreference.com:8080/

there is a chemical spill, they have been told to stay one nautical mile away from the area.

There are some rescue that are refusing to go into a building because it's too big and dark.

[auracat]

5. smurfygirl, how long you been listening?

i missed one awhile back.. approx. 3 hours ago. i hope someone else got it. they were talking about lies, and they were hopping mad. did you get it?

[smurfygirl]

7. no I had to sleep for a while

but I did hear them say someone was lying to the hospital, about a medic being there or something like that. I have been listening since about 5 am it's 6:30 now.

[auracat]

8. oh it was not that. it was about 1130pm alaska time..

(near 3 hours ago) and it was two guys discussing the media and bush and the lies. saying how things had been portrayed wrongly, and the wrong people were getting credit for things done, and about supply hold ups, and they were really really mad.

shortly afterward another couple guys were discussing their own accomodations, and the higher up said he would not want anything his other troops on the ground didn't have. almost noble.

[auracat]

9. get on the busses but we cannot pull the busses

up by the building because there is no where to turn around.
10-4 ya, they're tryin' to make a decision.
we're going to stage the busses. .. she said she can send some down to put on busses right now about 25 people, and the others... {unclear}

[smurfygirl]

10. interesting...so the media is reporting that all hospitals

have been evacd. but from what I'm hearing they still are moving people out from nursing homes (or maybe even hospitals) so I'm guessing they don't count those as hospitals.

can save families

(I am almost certain that's what he said ?)

sounds like they are evacuating 100 people in helicopters but don't want to split up families

[meganmonkey]

All done by hand at this point.

(these people are working so hard - they are heores. I can't even imagine)

[meganmonkey]

60. okay, meganmonkey needs to take a break.

I'll try to be back soon to keep going. If anyone decided to pick up where I left off - some advice - there are essentially 2 feeds coming at you in stereo, so if you put the balance all on one side it is easier to understand, although you may miss something important on the other feed....

[meganmonkey]

all non-critical got to NO Internatl Airport - all critical to Baton Rouge (I may have that backwards, I just tuned back in)

How many you need?

We gonna put the boats in near the water tower and then we're going to lexington place

and locations for additional pickups

(I wish I knew if they were talking about dead or alive :scared: mm)

[meganmonkey]

65. Request a DOC for the portapotty haul-away (?)

[meganmonkey]

66. Any other buses that need an escort, or just those three?

--Just those three but we're working up 20 others

---I believe 20 is enough but we're gonna get the information to them

[meganmonkey]

on standby

(yay - successful evacuation underway!)

[meganmonkey]

74. DO NOT MAKE CONTACT with the grounding cable

[meganmonkey]

75. I need .... people, on my site to coordinate these efforts

(sounds like maybe the guy reporting the hostage situation...can't tell for sure)

Somebody else says 'Stand by'

[meganmonkey]

76. Approaching the convention center - about 1,000 people

would like confirm - we are approaching convention center and there are 1,000 people left walking out

big enough area to put a chopper down, we've used it many times

[meganmonkey]

82. Okay, meganmonkey has to go clean the bathroom

and let the computer cool down.

If anyone is lurking on this thread and they hear anything more about the hostage thing, please let me know!

[auracat]

83. i did hear, before i left

several mentions of a group of people, about 100, at or near a school. the guys were saying the group were family, and would not leave unless they could stay together. the family did not want to be separated. there was much talk about this group, and what to do with them. shortly later, i heard requests for pick up of 100 bodies at/near that location. 100 bodies. then, the requests were for more, maybe 200.
i just hope that the people were not shot for wanting to stick together and being difficult, but that is what it sounded like.

[auracat]

84. post #34 was about that group so we have a rough time stamp

in case anyone recorded that exchange.

[rainbow4321]

88. Request for a nurse from Red Cross to travel to a certain address...

request just now denied, North and South Shore "too dangerous" for nurses to be dispatched.

(Good luck Monique! I hope you have a strong, healthy baby!! -mm)

THey are inducing labor

[meganmonkey]

86. Request ot Red Cross to get a nurse dispatched to an address

in Covington

[meganmonkey]

87. They won't let the nurse go - too dangerous

No communication with covington chapter - if you can get through to them through the national chapter...

[meganmonkey]

89. I gotta shut down again

Trying to get too many things done today :)

peace out

[rainbow4321]

90. I wish they would stop using the word "stragglers" for the victims

These people have been trapped in the city---stragglers implies they have been taking their own sweet time in getting out--chimp is the straggler.

I keep hearing "we have x number of stragglers approaching"

[auracat]

91. we are sending the scanner thread urls to amy goodman
