Mass Evacuation Considered

I just heard from Louisiana Governor Blanco at a press conference from the WWLTV video feed that they are considering evacuating all remaining citizens out of New Orleans SuperDome...that is after fresh supplies are brought in to keep them alive and comfortable.

3:25 P.M. - With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that people now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers need to be evacuated.

"The situation is untenable," Blanco said during a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking."

Also, schools in the Jefferson Parish could start back by December 1st according to the blog.
