US won't let Canada help Katrina victims

The mind once expanded by a new idea never returns to its' original size

As a flooded New Orleans sinks further into despair, up to 500 Florida airboat pilots have volunteered to rescue Hurricane Katrina victims, transport relief workers and ferry supplies.

But they aren't being allowed in. And they're growing frustrated.

"We cannot get deployed to save our behinds," said Robert Dummett, state coordinator of the Florida Airboat Association. He said the pilots, who range from commercial airboat operators to weekend pleasure boaters, "are physically sick, watching the New Orleans coverage and knowing that the resources to help these poor people is sitting right in our driveways."

On standby since Monday, the pilots -- many from Central Florida -- have spent thousands of their own dollars stocking their boats and swamp buggies with food, water, medical supplies and fuel.

WASHINGTON - In an accelerating drive, more than 50 countries have pledged money or other assistance to help Americans recover from Hurricane Katrina.

One week ago, ~2 days before the hurricane hit land:

Forecasters: Katrina to aim for Mississippi, Louisiana

States of emergency

In anticipation of a possible landfall, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco declared states of emergency Friday.

Blanco said "very well-coordinated evacuations" were planned that will be enacted "if there's a direct threat."

"I just don't see any reason why this will not become a very, very powerful hurricane before it's all over," hurricane center director Max Mayfield said at a news conference.

Dr. Condoleezza Rice said that the “security of Israel is the key to security of the world.”

"Everybody from southeast Louisiana through the Florida Panhandle really needs to pay attention," he said.

At 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Katrina was a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds near 100 mph (161 kmh). It is expected to gain power from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.

Not much time, and assurances by Blanco that "very well-coordinated evacuations" were planned that will be enacted "if there's a direct threat."

"How does this work? They (are) clean, they are dry, they get out ahead of us?" exclaimed Howard Blue, 22, who tried to get in their line. The National Guard blocked him as other guardsmen helped the well-dressed guests with their luggage.
