6 Greyhound Buses headed to Mississippi from Mobile
One of the churches in our area is headed toward Mississippi with 6 greyhound buses to bring people back to Robertsdale, AL to the colesuim over there. I hope this is true. I heard it on http://www.wkrg.com but can't find anything on the site that backs it up.

At the colesium (spelling wrong) where they have the fair. They have already brought the people from Daphne that were staying at the Nicholson Center there. And I think the Nix Center in Fairhope is open. Not sure about that one but that is what I heard.

From WWL....
12:38 P.M. - (AP): Two French Quarter hotels says federal officials have foiled their plans to hire buses to ferry guests to higher ground.
The general manager of the Astor Hotel at Astor Crowne Plaza says the hotels teamed to hire ten buses to carry some 500 guests.
But Peter Ambros says federal officials commandeered the buses, and told the guests to join thousands of other evacuees at the New Orleans convention center.
One man says he and others had paid $45 a seat for the buses, and that they were "totally stunned" when the buses never arrived. Another woman said the crowd had waited 14 hours for the buses. She says the idea of walking to the convention center scared her because of reports of looting.
The woman says it appears Louisiana officials have forgotten about tourists, and are just intent on getting their own residents out.
