As of 10:21 p.m. a few “POD’s” are open throughout the county, dispersing water, ice and MRE’s (meals ready to eat, like they serve in the military). They are finally making these locations public.
This happened 90 minutes AFTER mandatory curfew so no-one is allowed to go and get these items.
Now they’re waffling and saying it may be OK to get on the roads just to get to a POD. Yeah, most people will be arrested.
And the ice will be melted by morning. Good work, FEMA. They said they only had GET the trucks to the Stadium, and locals were supposed to get them to the POD’s. I’ll call this Chertoff-Gate.
The undisclosed POD’s do not open again until 10:00 tomorrow morning. Sorry for laughing but I just heard that the forest service is in charge! Hi! Welcome to the Big City! All our trees blew over yesterday.
This is now the “New FEMA.” Congratulations, idiots.
Oh, how I’d like to be a fly on the wall at Hurricane HQ when FEMA dropped the ball yet again and we have nothing!
The City and County have picked up that dropped ball but it will take some time. They’re all making nice on TV/radio but there are serious problems to address.
Still no power, running water, gasoline, drinking water or ice. Or bread. HELLO! Your people need help, not squabbling or finger-pointing. Leave that to us.
