I just made it out guys.

From what I've heard on the radio, and the little TV I've been able to see: the reality in there is worse than what you guys are seeing.

Its really fucked up and scary in there.

The city is gone, guys.

Its like Beruit, or Somalia.

I'm not lying..............

They're going to be EATING each other in there in about 3 days unless there are some fucking ARMED troops in there pronto.

Its bad in there, and getting worse.

We need ARMED soldiers in there now, with weapons hot. Unarmed NG and exhausted, terrified cops are useless.

Some of the info I'm getting this morning is bad.

I don't care what the news channels are saying. There is NO order or control in the city right now. None. Period. They seem to be afraid that many people will rush back to defend their property if they know how badi it is.

Everything we have ever talked about in here about post-SHTF is happening. Rape, murder, looting, no communication.

The police are outgunned, and running out of fuel, ammo, batteries, you name it.

From what I saw, the New Orleans police dept has ceased to be a cohesive force. Many of them have no more idea of what is going on then anyone else.

I was going to hunker down, but I had to get my wife out of there. You do not want to be an attractive woman in New orleans right now. You can't stay completely hidden, due to the heat and humidity. You have to get outdoors sometimes, but if you do, you run the risk of encountering armed groups. My main worry was that someone was going to see her, and comefor her. The gangs have no real fear of one or two armed defenders right now. Shit, they're shooting cops and NG right now. I feel for some of my friends who stayed to protect their shops.

I don't know whether these are street gangs that existed before the SHTF, or bands who came together afterwards. Its law of the jungle in there.

If anyone has friends or relatives in there still, I'm sorry.

I just saw where the violance and panic have spread to Baton Rouge.

A story just got out about a firefight in downtown Baton Rouge.

This is where I was planning on heading now that my wife is secure.

Also, police are taking firearms from private civilians because they are running out of materiel. No way in hell do i want ot be int that area without firearms.

This is unreal.

A friend of mine hooked me up with a link for radio traffic in NOLA.

Its total chaos. Command centers are giving out orders to units, and then going "Wait, who is this? Is this LSP?" " No, this is LNG MP unit." Their giving orders to units in the wrong part of the city.

They have designated units as "Defenders', "Penguins", 'Eagles', etc. Half the units are not responding when contacts attempts are made. Defender 5 has been out of the loop for hours, and noone knows where they are.

There seems to be a state EOC and a federal EOC operating down there, and everyone is getting mixed up.

A relief convey is lost, and is stuck on a street. There are flood waters to the front, and they cannot back out.

Armed civilians (which seemsto be the tag they are using for looters/thugs) are gathering.

Pelican Jock or Top(?) is trying to get aid to them.

Truck drivers are refusing to drive in. They are trying to get miklitary drivers for relief trucks.

This is a wierd mix of military, civilian and police chatter going on. I will continue to post the highlights (lowlights?) of what I hear on this thread.

Charity Hospital is being abandoned. They are requesting the fuel that was promised. A tanker was sent last night, but hte hospital says they have not seen it.

There is some guy repeatedly asking for Pat.

Par, are you there? Can you hear me?

Holy shit.

They just dispatched "Special Forces" to Charity hospital.

Special Forces?

Some guy identifying himself as a Colonel is sending in SF to the hospital.

I can't figure out if he is Army or police Colonel.

Sounds pissed off.

it goes on and on
