Today on Baton Rouge TV a resident from Algiers call Susan Roesgen on TV in Baton Rouge to ask for food as she had run out and there is no food being given out on the West Bank of New Orleans. There is word on Baton Rouge TV that the Belle Chasse Base will be up soon, perhaps tomorrow. Maybe things will change then. We haven’t even been mentioned on the news at all and, according to that caller, are not getting any ice or food.
