It Gets Even Worse

My God.  I thought I understood to some degree anyway the extent of the Katrina aftermath because I'd been following it so closely.
But I knew nothing. 

Where is the help?  Why aren't the helicopters at least dropping food and water?

Evacuations are being halted as policemen, firemen, rescue workers and helicopters are being shot at.
Donate to the Red Cross.

I'm reading the NOLA Weblog and there is story after unbelievable story.

People trapped in apartments, trapped in warehouses,  trapped in churches, trapped in University Hospital, stranded on highways, trapped in hotel on Tulane, trapped in restaurants, trapped at St. Charles Hospital.

Are we going to leave them there to die?
Whole families missing.

Doctors barricaded at Charity Hospital where gunmen are threatening them.
More armed thugs at Tulane University Medical Center, doctors on roof awaiting rescue.

Over 300 at Mary Queen of VN Church, stranded in sewage water up to their necks.  Over 400 students trapped at Xavier University in a dormitory with no food or water.

Deputies from the Sheriff Department stranded without food or water.

In nursing homes, in hospitals, people are dying all around.

70 students and priests trapped at St. Mary of the Angels school.

Who among them will live to survive another day and night without rescue?
