My son is working with FEMA at Camp Beauregard as a dispatcher. He just called and told me what they had gotten to NOLA today. As of 1330 hours the following # of 18 wheelrs had departed for NOLA.
- water - 92
- ice - 53
- MREs - 40
- cots - 12
- blankets - 3
- generators - 3
Just departed at 2100 hours:
He said that the drivers are returning from NOLA with tales of taking fire and stating that they're going to carry regardless of what the ICC or the company thinks. I'll see if he can confirm these tales with bullet holes in the trucks/trailers.
More to follow when he calls back.
