11:07+Sefriel[15:28] <Donny> Hearing huge explosions now.
11:08+Sefriel[15:29] <Donny> bellsouth had 20 trucks here yesterday.  They are 3 blocks down.
11:09+Sefriel[15:34] <Donny> Yes.  Bellsouth has told our telcom guy that they are working on getting their customers up before dealing with people like us.  Sounds like a PR thing to me.  Getting 50 people in Mississippi phone access is better than getting some data center access.
11:10+Sefriel[15:37] <Donny> It looks like [the fire] is two buildings from Mother's.  If you know where Mother's is, you know where the fire is.  Damn.
11:10+Sefriel[15:41] <Donny> We have food, we are doing fine with food.  Just need diesel at some generators more than anything.  But we have food, water, and drinks.
11:10+Sefriel[15:44] <Donny> Our generator is on the 9th floor of our building.  We have 18 barrels on the bottom of the parking garage.  If we can get somebody to fill them up, we push them up 9 floors of the parking garage.  It's truely BACK BREAKING work!  About 1 barrel per hour.
11:11+Sefriel[15:46] <Donny> As of right now we have enough fuel to last another few days, without anything else.
11:11+Sefriel[15:47] <Donny> But we think broadband ip, maybe bringing us diesel in a few hours.  The National Guard has promised as well.  Nobody wants us to run out.
11:11+Sefriel[15:47] <Donny> I saw only one fire chief drive by the fire.  nothing else.
11:11+Sefriel[15:49] <Donny> There are 0 diesel cars in our garage.  We have checked.
11:12+Sefriel[15:50] <Donny> The NG is not using our data center.  They just know that we are here, because we are the only business that I know of that is still up and running.  Just look for the lights!  One company in the entire city, even the news channels go down.  But we haven't.
11:12+Sefriel[15:50] <Donny> We did have to shut off somethingawful.com because we were down to only 1 oc3, which I really didn't want to do, but we had no choice.
11:13+Sefriel[15:51] <Donny> The generator is ours alone.  Even the building engineers left 3 days ago and we have the keys to the building.
11:14+Sefriel[15:57] <Donny> Our other oc3 locations lost diesel from my understanding.
11:15+Sefriel[16:02] <Donny> basically guys, if there is a fire, we are screwed!  Doesn't matter if we have snow coming out of the fire suppression, we are SOL.
11:15+Sefriel[16:05] <Donny> I think at this point, my fire alarm system is our nose.

11:51+Sefriel[16:50] <MilesTeg> We have a radio report that some of the busses at the stadium need diesel fuel.  Uncertain whether that's just a request for some of a local supply or if it's actually a problem.  I'm on stream Katrina Refugee's Houston PD Astrodome Command.  The stadium being referred to is the Astrodome.

09:54@Tanna- 0944 EST - The mayor says he feels a little better about things now. Ray Nagin returned from a meeting with President Bush yesterday a much calmer man than the one who earlier issued a statement of warning to CNN. In the warning, he said New Orleans was "hanging on by a thread" and "only God knows" if it would survive another night.
09:54@Tanna-
09:54@Tanna-But after the meeting, he says he thinks people are paying attention now and "hopefully they'll continue to do what they're doing."
10:06@Tanna-0950 EST - (AP) -- National Guardsman Michael Rogers has now seen New Orleans in two different lights.

10:06@Tanna-
10:06@Tanna-Among the similarities, angry crowds, a hot blazing sun and a murky mixture of resentment and gratitude. Taking a cigarette break yesterday, he watched hundreds of newly homeless line up outside the downtown convention center for the food and water they'd gone without for days.
10:06@Tanna-
10:06@Tanna-In Rogers words, "This right here, I'd have to say is very similar to Iraq, the way the people are -- hungry, very angry."
10:07@Tanna-0952 EST - HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- "Dying of dehydration and exhaustion." That's the desperate scene described by a college student stuck in a flooded New Orleans hospital in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Erik McCall told his father of dozens of dead patients and describing a makeshift morgue in an operating room.

She says the evacuation of thousands of people from the convention center could start today, though a National Guard commander says it may take longer.
10:14@Tanna-1003 EST - AUSTIN (AP) -- Attorneys from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama will be allowed to practice in Texas -- due to Hurricane Katrina.
