[Hell Hath No Fury]

My sister in Dallas said a friend of hers took his chopper down to NO to check out the propoerty of a friend and to see if he could do anything.

When he got there he said he saw loads of military choppers and personnel ringing the city -- not in the city -- ringing it. He also saw what he described as around 1000 personal watercrafts around the water entrances heading towards NO. When he got fuel from a local airstrip he asked about the boats and was told they belonged to locals who had been trying to get into the area to help ferry out survivors, but were kept back by the authorities.

My first thought upon hearing this was, "Are they trying to keep people out, or keep people in."
