stop at any WalMarts along the way for clothes.
http://www.kotv.com/main/home/stories.asp?whichpage=1&id=89626Crowder drove one of the one thousand buses sent by the government to evacuate the city. He arrived at the Superdome Thursday afternoon. "What we were going to get were homeless people, these were the people who got into the superdome and they were not in good shape."
Crowder says some were sick and all of them were filthy. Many were separated from family and upset, especially after he drove them out of town. "When we left New Orleans, they had not seen the damage, they didn't know what it was like, they would say, they would just scream.”
Even though some of the passengers were only wearing underwear - the only time they stopped - at a Wal-Mart, the bus was surrounded by police. "It turns out all these small towns were just overwhelmed with these people and they thought we were letting them off and they made us put them back on the bus, they told us in no uncertain terms to put them back on the bus." Once the buses arrived in Houston, there were so many people; it took 12 hours to get them unloaded.
