Re: Katrina

I think they are so in shock they aren't thinking straight and some just
don't have the savvy to do that. They are sure getting restless in the
Super Dome, I'm not so sure that they will go quietly to another one in
Houston, which apparently is the plan to bus them to the Astrodome in
Houston. At least that has power and air and working toilets and food. DH
said why don't they just leave the SuperDome and I said, because they aren't
letting them, but some are starting to "get out" any way they can. It's
starting to get pretty ugly in there.
