Karen Carter, state rep for the area including the French Quarter, has just been on CNN issuing an urgent plea for
ANYONE within driving distance of New Orleans to bring buses, trucks, gas etc. to help get people
OUT OF THE CITY. They need this help
NOW. The Feds aren't doing the job. Private citizens have to pitch in.
NOW!!
The FEMA guy said this morning that they would have lots more National Guard etc. there BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND.
There is now a big fire burning in a high-rise near the W hotel. There is no fire department left working, as far as I can see. How long before the rest of the city goes up in flames?
