An added point for you Samantha - whom I often disagree with -
If the TV crews could get there, so could the water and food trucks.
I could have loaded up a UHAUL truck at 8 am at Walmart after seeing the
conference center on the news and driven there by 8pm from Evansville, IN.
The only reason I didn't was because I was afraid I would interfere with a
large-scale organized response that never came and because I was certain
someone else would get there sooner.
