{1} no tasking at the moment.


mostly chatter, some talk about vehicles, occasional directions for rescue locations.

[auracat]

82. ferry ramps were pretty much destroyed but we got

'em pretty much repaired

[rainbow4321]

93. Hi Auracat!!

:hi:

You are so awesome to keep this going!!!!!!!

Think there needs to be a Tusaday thread?? Totally up to you if there needs to be one or if it should continue here...you are on a roll, I don't mean to interrupt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[auracat]

95. rainbow, great to see you,

i have to give it up soon, as usual, got stuff to do this time of day.
notice that post above RE: chemical oil spill. 81?
they JUST discovered it!
we knew days ago. i think we both logged that.

also, i found a blogsite somewhere where the guy thanks all the scanner transcribers saying we've done a huge service. thought that might make you feel a little better.

if you want a new thread, go ahead, i can stay here for now unless you think there should be a new one.

[auracat]

96. the accident is two company trucks, same company

call clayment towing


we just ran{?} 7 people w/ some kids..

[rainbow4321]

98. You can do it here...totally up to you...

Everything is still getting written down with time/date, etc...

It's good to someone recording stuff!!


You see some of the stuff from last night? They suspended search and rescue cuz it got dark outside, had the army soldier holed up in a NO hotel, under orders to NOT leave it til morning...
People in outlying counties still getting no guidance on how to get people their medicines...state doc said that they were NOT set up to deal with chronic illnesses/medicines.

As a health care professional, it all makes my head want to explode over the feds lack of planning for "what if's" prior to this disaster.

There is sooo much slipping under the radar here..so much recklessness and unpreparedness (if that is a word)..total chaos on the ground vs the "everything is fine" news reports.

[auracat]

101. ya, rainbow. it's almost unbelievable.

since there is no way i know of to join all scanner thread links in one location, i'll go on here till i quit for the day.
if you do scanner today, and make a new thread, will you post the link to it on this one?
i have trouble navigating here still, and if it's not a very active thread, i may not find it later tonight when i pick up again.

thanks for all you've done.

[auracat]

97. rainbow -this was from a blog of some one who stayed in the city

Thanks to the people mirroring sites, helping in IRC, trasnscribing scanners, etc. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. You guys have done a really great job and have provided a service many people have benefited from.

[rainbow4321]

100. YAY!! That's nice of them...

I'm so glad to hear that...

The chaos and lack of leadership we are hearing on the ground could have been **preventable** had there been real leadershp and proactive planning on the feds part.

[auracat]

102. absolutely. letting military handle this is just increasing the misery

these people cannot find their butts with both hands, as i'm sure you can tell, listening.
never heard such idiocy in my life.. tho i had read military was usually snafu i had never listened to them look for their butts like this before.


i hear some missions for superdome still..

[auracat]

94. exchange info, contact insurance. - gonna need 79s for both vehicles.

{sounds like an accident}


is there communications w/ st. tammany today?
eoc, st. bernard. negative on communications w/ st. tammany today.

[auracat]

99. i'm losing control of my company

{needs communication}

i'm trying contact 45th inf. on my flank, do you have a way to contact them over?

{aha, i hear plaquemines now.. tammany still quiet.}
jefferson parish has something for plaquemines parish.

[auracat]

103. we got an individual here who wants to donate

3 boats and motors to plaquemines parish.

sheriffs.

got someone pick 'em up get 'em to the sheriff.

[auracat]

104. we got some {enforcement?} here been displaced from their homes

these drivers have no idea who they're picking up or where they're going.

i'm looking for it but i don't um..

it gets too deep for those vehicles.. around clayment? {claymont}

[rainbow4321]

105. "I still have boats over here but

"A lot of these people still don't wanna come out...I'm telling everybody if they don't wanna come out, don't force anybody"

[auracat]

107. rain -- i hear alot of those staying don't wanna leave their pets

reported on the media, etc., but i've heard none of that here, have you?

[rainbow4321]

108. Nope...

I've heard several "they don't want to leave" but nothing about their pets.
Only animal related transmission I heard was when St Bernard parish was saying that they had sick, aggressive dogs running the streets trying to attack people..they then asked for a vet team to help with the stray dog population.

St Bernard parish seems to be the red headed stepchild in all of this..most the problems and "dropped balls" seem to effect them the most. St Taminey wouldn't even let a convoy of replacement vehicles headed to St Bernard go thru their parish as the convoy was TRYING to get to St Bernard's.

St Bernard's had to get the state involved just to get their convoy thru!

[auracat]

110. i've noticed that too. st. tammany isn't on here today

plaquemines just woke up or something a little bit ago.

[auracat]

30. i've been doing my best, i cannot do more. :)

[SaveAmerica]

28. Acadian ambulance is being used to pick up the deceased?

Is that the company of the guy who keeps showing up on news shows saying that W is doing a fantastic job? If so, I don't think they'd want someone whose job it is to retrieve dead bodies from this disaster to be a chearleader for Bush.

[auracat]

31. there seemed to be an argument some

fuss over whether bodies had been picked up and a bit of buck passing on who was supposed to do it.

the acadian ambulance was mentioned, i'm not entirely sure that was in reference to the mort

26. FYI: LA 10 codes listed here (sorry if this has been posted)

For those who are trying to follow the scanner chatter but are having difficulty

http://www.bearcat1.com/radiola.htm

[rainbow4321]

36. FEMA refusing to collect bodies as they see them..

"FEMA says that they won't collect the bodies, they say that the military has a morgue group <?> that does that"

[rainbow4321]

37. "You have to leave some sort of sense of organization

here..some of the guys won't leave, everything they own is here, get us some t shirts that say fire dept." "They are cleaning up their yards and their homes". "You cannot take us out now"

"We've already had 5 desertions, you cannot deplete us completely".


Talk of having an "important meeting tonight" and the local workers need to be "rehabbed".

Local firefighters/first responders are NOT wanting to be replaced by FEMA <?>

The firefighters are complementing Canadian Rescue Team 1 saying that if everyone did like them, things would be great.


Local firefighters planning to do "7 days on, 14 days off".

"Our guys were alot luckier than alot of people out right now."


Frustration over "these 2 large FEMA groups showed up"--- "everything is getting better now, though"


-----------------
from what it sounds like, they are trying to pull the local first responders and replace them by, maybe FEMA workers?? Local responders are refusing to leave.

[rainbow4321]

38. "All firefighters are to be taken to The Belmont"

"For whatever reason they refused to get on the bus, they got in their own personal vehicles"

[auracat]

39. thank you rainbow

i couldn't take it anymore.
will resume tonight if possible.

[MaineDem]

40. I lost all scanner feeds

Thought maybe it was while POTUS was in the area but they're still not working.

Of course it could be my dialup being cranky, too. THanks for all you've been doing!

[rainbow4321]

41. You're welcome,...

It does get a little mind numbing after a while. Doing what I can between household chores, etc..
I can do it for a while, then have to go grocery shopping.
:bounce:

I hope I do as well as you all have been doing. I'm don't usually post all the logistic stuff (Move trucks here/there). Hope that is OK!

[cat_hair]

42. How to listen to the scanners in Winamp

I had problems from just clicking the link with the Firefox download manager opening and trying to download the link.

In Winamp click File - then Play URL - a box will open that says Open URL. Cut and paste the link into the box then click Open. Sometimes you have to hit Play more than once to connect.

I've also found it helps if you use a pair of headphones plugged into your speakers.

The channels I've had the most luck connecting to:

http://radio.scannerbuff.net:8008/hurricane
http://www.radioreference.com:8080/lspbtr.m3u
http://205.252.89.181:8000/live

You can find other links here:
http://scannerbuff.net/hurricane.php

I think someone else has posted other scanner site links.

You can download Winamp free here: http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php

I don't use WMP but I would think it's pretty much the same.

I hope this helps someone.

[rainbow4321]

48. State EOC to St Bernard EOC

You are requesting for security team at sunrise, for people to get thru St Tamminy parish?

St Bernard official:

We need help getting some people across Tamminey parish because no one is in their original official vehicles, the parish government are not using their regular vehicles, and the St Taminy parish would not let them cross. They need an escort.

[cat_hair]

49. At first he said

An *armed* security team. I think they changed it at the end tho.

[cat_hair]

63. St. Tamminy bridge

has major structural damage.

Need to know so I can get my guys (somewhere).

[cat_hair]

47. I heard earlier that..

They set up a hospital at a refinery (Exxon Mobil, I think) in St. Bernard. Someone was asking for a bunch of medical supplies.

[rainbow4321]

50. Did you hear how the military is holed up in the hotel

under orders to not leave it til morning?

And thet seach and rescue has been suspended til morning?

Someone apperently decided not to make this a 24/7 mission

[cat_hair]

51. No I didn't hear that

I've been on and off the scanner all evening.

[rainbow4321]

52. "Meeting with Gen Jones"

At Bell Chaise at 1300 tomorrow, in the air hanger.


-------------------------
Army corp of engineers not allowed into the city, they were stopped.
Large tanker trucks, 18 wheelers
Going to pick up fuel pods to be delivered to the area that are generating pumps <?>

They were really Five 5 ton vehicles. You might have to go to Bernard Parrish to see where they are.

[rainbow4321]

54. "Inbound to the refinery..."

"We have no eyes on the vehicles"

"I have a total of four 5 ton and two 2.5, is that them?"

"Do we have control of those vehicles?"
"Does one of them have a radio"
"Are they where they need to be and can they accomplish mission"

"They have arrived here, we can't do refueling at night, we will spend the night and do it in the morning"

"Do they have what they need to spend the night?"
"We'll hook them up with something better than what they are used to"

[cat_hair]

53. A team is holed up at

a 2nd floor suite at that hotel.

They're gearing up for something in the morning.

Were also talking about looking for fuel (pods?).

[rainbow4321]

55. Yup..see "the General Jones" and "in bound to refinery" posts

I get nervous whenever they imply there will be a meeting with a military person.

[rainbow4321]

57. "We are on our own, do what you have to do"

St Plaq. official talking to St Bernard official (comparing what they went thru in the drill to what actually happened after the storm)

"I knew we should have asked more questions during the drill last Wednesday, look what happened Sunday. I was just talking to the EMS guys, talking about how to deal with the prescription drugs"

"10-4, we are on our own, do what you have to do with what you have"

[cat_hair]

56. I'm in a discussion with

some emt's about prescription drugs. (something) like in the exercise.

Anyone else catch that? Also something about last Sunday being like Wed.?

[rainbow4321]

58. caught it..I wish they would have kept talking

Some of the best stuff is talked about around this time each night.
See the "we are on our own" post a bit upthread>

[smurfygirl]

59. what is with this light this guy is talking about

something about a light coming from somewhere and it's not from a helo. And now two helos have been spotted and they can't figure out who it is? Is anyone else catching this? It sounds really strange to me.

[smurfygirl]

60. calling 302 you are stepped on badly...

pull out now.

[cat_hair]

61. Sorry

I was paying more attention to the right hand side. I didn't catch all of that.

I did hear them earlier today talking about finding a helo door on a roof somewhere.

[rainbow4321]

62. St Bernard Parish to State EOC--"Taminey refused to let us cross"

(St Bernard needing to get 12 unmarked cars to their parish to replace their destroyed cop cars--St Taminey *refused* to let them cross *their* county to get to St Bernard)


"Do you have communication w/ St Taminey parish? I wanna make sure we talk to the sheriff over there, also. This is about the checkpoints, also"

--------------------------
-------------
State EOC to St Taminey EOC:
St Bernards wanting escort cuz you were not letting them cross parish line"
"They can cross the causeway is the only place for them to use for emergency <?>
------
State EOC to St Bernard

"Do u want thru the causeway, St Bernard"

"Can we not pass on the bridge?

Negative. You can use the causeway. What are the cars location now?

They are at I10 at St Taminey Parish
----------------------

(Making arrangements for convoy to cross Taminey in the morning)

[cat_hair]

64. good

I'm glad you caught all that. :)

[rainbow4321]

65. You would think the counties would play together a lilttle nicer...

And if the frigging military is down there, don't they have the kind of air transport to carry vehicles..if they can haul tanks to the Middle East, I'm thinking that they could get 12 regular vehicles into St Bernard since they are needed for law enforcement purposes!

If "little things" like this are so complicated, is it any wonder this whole disaster is screwed up!

[cat_hair]

66. No joke

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have enough air transport. Everything is probably in Iraq.

[rainbow4321]

67. "Medical provider needing advice"

"Needing some input from the state"

No MD here to order these meds,no access to primary doc to get orders for these meds.
Needs someone's potassium refilled, we can't check the person's level to see if they should take the potassium. DMAT team here but the person needs their meds refilled, can we do that without an MD order.
Do we need to wait for an order to get it refilled?

Do you have the prescription in front of you?
Yes we do

Is the pt coherent to tell you if that is their prescription
Patient is oriented times 4

Dr on radio now:

Med provider asks her question as stated above telling her:
"All local hospitals closed, no pharmacies"

-------------

State's response:

We are not set up to do chronic medicines, we can have a state medical person bring you what you need in the morning

[rainbow4321]

68. "New task force created

by Pelican 5."


(What was THAT about?)
--------------

Ammo-2 cases of 5.5 mm no longer required

Physician assistant visit-no longer required, already done

All other requirements remain required
