Just told dowdy to call Dwane shakesnyder at a 504 number

[blonndee]

10. 250 armed MPs needed at 0800 at Armstrong Airport

[Roland99]

12. Is this why the Superdome evacs were stopped?

WTF is going on? Damn this shit is getting more and more FUBARd

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. I fear that is the problem

There was a report from 09/01 of people in the Ritz Carlton coming down with infectous diceases there but those folks were able to afford their own buses that came a took them out.



BLITZER: How long have you been there?

PETRICH: We arrived here actually for holiday on Thursday evening and we were evacuated to the Grand Ballroom by the middle of the night Sunday. We have been on rations since then. They have evacuated some of the hotel. There are about 300 people left. The Ritz is trying to get buses in here. FEMA will not let them in. They got a group out last night. And of the three buses that got out, FEMA commandeered one of them. We have no idea where they've taken those people. We're in dire straits here. There is no electricity. The sewage is backing up. As I said, the water supply is running low.

We do have a team here of infection diseases doctors that were here for a conference who have set up a small infirmary to care for the cases of dysentery and vomiting that have come up, as well as other people who have had some illnesses. But all of those medications are now being depleted, and I don't know that anyone is aware that we're here. I realize we're not top priority on anyone's list, but we are here and we are in dire straits, and we need someone to know that we're here, to come in and help to get us out of here.

14. Belchase is where the MPs are to meet the Troopers

and the blackhawks at 6:30.

[punpirate]

16. Interesting that they only wanted armed troops...

... and mentioned nothing else. If they were bringing in supplies, they would also need trucks. No mention of those.

This is probably a security detail for someone coming in from Washington. Or, maybe, Bush is coming back from Texas for a few photo ops in NO, since the ones in Biloxi weren't exactly well-received. Wouldn't surprise me that this was part of reputation damage control by the White House.

On edit, ah, silly me... put 2 and 2 together when I saw this:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9175928

Maybe Bush is coming in to comfort the wounded, sort of a Walter Reed moment for the press....

[girl gone mad]

13. what was the phone number for?

I'm only half listening..

[notadmblnd]

15. Col dowdy needs to call LSP Trooper Dwane Shakesnider

to find out the duration of the mission.

[fooj]

17. I copied down the phone #

Peace.

[notadmblnd]

20. me too, but I didnt call it

on scan at 06:00 requesting transport for 210 pacs? with gear to get in place for mission at Armstrong Intl apt. giving out phone numbers again to call for transport?

this time it's a 916 areacode number

[blonndee]
