If you've been watching TV,you will see miles of relief aid trucks of every
sort lined up on the highway ready to go into New Orleans,but were stopped by
the whole city being covered with water. Pres Bush released aid money even
BEFORE this disaster(first time in history),and the trucks were there with
food,water,National Guard,but they can't get into the city. Even this AM the
dome is surrounded with water,and people can't get out. They have to evacuate
the entire city. Talking about a tent city north out of area,or cruise ships.
People walked 8-10 miles to get to dome,and can't get to it to be evacuated
because of water surrounding it. So there is the aid there,but the city has to
find a way to get the flooding stopped ,or the people out so the aid can get
to them.The electricity is all down for the southern half of the 3 states
effected-pumps don't work.It's a terrible situation. I suppose they'll have to
get boats to get the out since the helicopters can't carry many people,but
that's for rescue off roofs,and no place to land a big transport plane to
evacuate the huge number of people Helen
