All I know is when my people go out, they tell me there are a lot of people awaiting rescue. I hear there are hundreds of people still on their rooftops.

I know people want to leave, but they can't leave. There's three feet of water around the Superdome.

They may be here for a while. The electricity will be out after the storm; streets will be almost impassable. So once they get here, they'll have to stay for the duration.
