South Florida residents scavenge for water, food, gas [View All]

In Florida, apparently they scavenge, not loot. :eyes:

Across the region, people went into scavenger-mode, descending on those few sources of water, food and gas they could find.

In Miami, Julio Sanchez stood on the side of the street watching a scene in disbelief - a crowd arguing in front of the Orange Bowl, one of 11 distribution sites in Miami-Dade, where many waited in line hours for ice and water.

"This is incredible. I just cannot believe it," said Sanchez, 47. "I've seen this before. Miami officials said they are prepared, but they are not. Everything is a lie. We got all this technology. We've gone to the moon, but they (officials) cannot have their little act together."

At 11 a.m., Bush, along with local and federal officials, gathered at the Miami-Dade Emergency Operations Center where they urged residents to be patient as the relief effort continues.

"Tomorrow is going to be a better than today," Bush said. "My heart goes out to people who lost a lot, but rest assure that the federal and state government will help."

His brother, President Bush, plans to travel to Florida on Thursday.
