I searched the diaries and didnt see any posts about Charmaine Neville, singer and sister of the performers, the Neville Brothers, heart rending eyewitness tale of survival in the 9th ward, near downtown New Orleans.
WAFB TV in Baton Rouge has an interview with singer/survivor. She sits in a chair with a priest on his knees before with his hands on her shoulders as she recounts an ordeal that seems like a script for a James Cameron movie. A flight from rushing waters, saving the elderly and disabled, scrounging for food, attacked by rapists, ignored by the national guard and a desperate bus ride to find shelter.
I hope Oprah saw this so she can get an interview so the world can see how people were abandoned in N.O.
