Obviously NO, but just a random spot? Or near a hospital or something?

5. Thanks - I saw the footage of the truck loading but didn't realize they |
|
were interviewing.
I don't have TV at home, so this is the first live-action I've really seen
:cry:

8. He's not really interviewing |
|
It's not live, its taped.
He said that most people come to him to talk. There's a man on right now who is just begging from help.
He says they're getting so little support. No food, no water. People are going to die if they don't get help. Congressmen, Senators, Governors, whoever, please send help.
They've commandeered boats and barges. But they can't do it all by themselves.

14. I know, I can't tear myself away from it |
|
This is what the national media can't cut down into 1 minute bits. We'll only see this on stations like these.

This footage is like nothing I've seen before. People who were on their rooftops for 48 hours. People had vehicles and boats commandeered. Looting everywhere. One man took food from a store going under water. He hadn't eaten or had anything to drink for 48 hours.
16 feet of water in some homes.

12. Water is still rising... |
|
They are calling for help and running out of food and water. These people are going to die if they don't get the aid they need. They say they haven't seen any addtional help. This is the rescuers talking. The guy was saying it while he was helping people on to a strecher.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE SUPPORT?!!? THIS COMPLETE LACK OF AID AND LACK OF RESPONSE IS UNFORGIVEABLE!!
