This looks like the explanation of what we went through yesterday. There's also a really good video clip of our Mayor being firm and compassionate about his stance on the issue with one of the evacuees who was upset at his use of the term "thug" in this article (or maybe in an earlier article). The link to the clip is on the Advocate's homepage, but it might get rotated out by this evening. Interesting to note at the end of the clip the reporter talks about the Red Cross volunteer efforts and they are capping it at 200 volunteers per shift. They're doing 12 hour shifts from 7 to 7, so I don't know what we're going to do next. I don't know if we can take an overnight shift. Maybe we'll have to find another place to volunteer. There's lots of other work that can be done.
