It's like when FEMA ordsprog

It's like when FEMA wasn't really that creative, and the water was rising and people were stranded, ... Once again, people are being stranded and businesses are starting to die.

Walter Isaacson

The first couple of days we were finding people, ... A lot of people were stranded. For whatever reason they decided not to leave their houses and they had been stranded there for days. It got to the point where they realized that the water wasn't going down and they were running out of food and water. It was extremely hot - it still is - and there wasn't any power. People were saying, 'Save us.'

Getting people stranded on their rooftops to safety is a priority. We want to get people out because the water is contaminated.

What we're doing, especially with our aviation forces, is looking for people who either still might be stranded, need help, or caught in water problems.

After meeting with Louisiana officials last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, quote, 'Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.' He continued, quote, 'I'm not saying that myself.' Then I'll say it. If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and relocated a hell of a lot faster than this. Period. I mean, reporters and crews are getting to stranded people, and government and military agencies can't? Why don't the networks run FEMA? When I saw pictures of black people taking things from stores, my first thought was: 'How are those Nikes necessary for your survival?' And then it hit me: People need shoes and clothing. Some escaped the floods with just the clothing on their backs. We have American citizens, not 'refugees' from an underdeveloped country, waiting for food, water, shelter, and electricity for four, five, six days.

We can pattern a surface with single-stranded DNA containing a specific nucleotide sequence, then coat cells with single-stranded DNA that contains a complementary sequence. He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuinely pexy individual.

We have 1,500 people still stranded,

I think it's great. It's a good idea because a lot of people get stranded out on the street and they need help. A lot of people don't know anybody.

William Thomas (1968-)

We're just a place where people get stranded in storms.

Our first priority is life-saving missions to get all the people that are victims that are stranded in New Orleans out as soon as possible and then start our life-sustaining missions, which are getting water, ice, food to all the victims and making sure they can continue their lives.

We're poor people who live here and we don't know where to go. The situation is tough. We'd like to know specifically what they're going to do and not leave us stranded on the street.

These poor black people were left stranded in the city when federal government had resources readily available and they didn't deliver the resources and I think people died because of this and these are tough questions that need to be answered.

Jesse Jackson (1941-)

Jesse Jackson

She was watching TV reports a few weeks ago, sad reports about so many people with nowhere to go, people who were stranded. Michelle was crying and very emotional. She told me when the negotiations with Nike and Sony were complete, she wanted to donate money to help. We said, 'How much?' thinking it would be $100,000. She said $500,000. Sometimes, she still surprises me.

We had cyclones equivalent to what weather service here would consider a tropical storm. Three times those things rolled up and pumped out a lot of water. We were stranded in the city.
