Red Cross - Wheels Down

[bkdelong]

I'm here. Plane of about 111 came in from NOLA around 2pm ET. These were people who JUST left their homes yesterday. Some looked pretty bad but many had been cleaned up well in the shelter. Was told, however, that the shelter they came from had dead bodies intermixed with the live folks. Still nasty. And people had no clue where they were going until after they got off the plane. They were told nothing. Despite setting up more permanant homes via base housing, many were just expecting to get in and get out.

Next shift is 1am ET tomorrow morning. Plane, (N465AT), went back to Houston after decon, changing crews and heading back to NOLA for another batch. I'll be staying over. Will check email soon when I get a chance. Miss you all.

If you're in Houston for *any* reason w/ them and want company, a place to relax, a meal, or whatever--please don't hesitate to contact me and Jill by email or journal comment.
