Children in attic, 3254 Gentilly Blvd
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 10:03:50 -0400

Subject: My Hurricane Story — Rescue Still Needed

Story: My cousin and his family have not yet been rescued. There are six people including a young child and three Tulane University students. The address is 3254 Gentilly Blvd. The name is Terry Simon.

Reports are that a rescue boat came on Tuesday and took the family across the street because they were in worst condition. However, no one came back for them. I understand that they are in the attic with no food or water…waiting to be rescued.

There’s a lot more. I hope to god somebody who can do something is reading them.
