Just heard a firsthand account from a young lady at a place I do business with. She and four other girl friends were in NO for a batcherloette party. When the storm hit and the flooding began they were trapped in their hotel. After two days they had to leave for want of water and food. Two gay guys came to their rescue. [Seems there was a lot of gays in town to celebrate 'Summer Decadence' which is week long spectacle of homosexual debauchery---isn't that precious?] Anyway the two guys led them thru water and filth to the SuperDome. They stayed in the Superdome two nights and said it was horrible, filthy, and dangerous. They could not sleep, clean themselves, and feared they would be raped or murdered. It was so terrible they decided they had to leave or possiblely die there. Another guy lead them back into the water and up to some street landing where there was a school bus. The driver insisted on having sex with them before taking them, but they remembered to bring their money...I guess he was a freelance rescuer. They gave him $650 to get on the bus with some other folks and got taken to Texas and eventually San Antonio, then flight back to New York. Well, that's their story. I reckon it's fairly accurate.
