no word feeling desperate, angry, frightened, all at the same time i am so, so, very sorry! i was hoping you would hear from the authorities by now...at least some kind of word, ANYTHING.... I can't believe they suspended what lame evacuation they did have going at the superdome they had to, at least from the air...helicopters were being FIRED upon.... my question is where are the ground troops? if media people can get into the worst areas, why aren't national guard troops there in force by now the mayor and governor should be tarred and feathered complete incompetents ....
