Some good news coming from New Orleans. Cnn reported alte Wednesday afternoon that "National Guard ahs lost control" of the Superdome and gave up on trying to keep people trapped inside there.
Numerous reports have indicated that many residents Uptown, where the water level is from 0 to six feet, are refusing to leave in order ot keep watch over their homes and possessions.
The New Orleans Museum of Art survived Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath without significant damage.
But when Federal Emergency Management Agency representatives arrived in the area Wednesday, NOMA employees holed up inside the museum were left in a quandary:
FEMA wanted those evacuees to move to a safer location, but there was no way to secure the artwork inside.
Six security and maintenance employees remained on duty during the hurricane and were joined by 30 evacuees, including the families of some employees.
Harold Lyons, a security console operator who stayed on at the museum, said FEMA representatives were the first outsiders to show up at the museum in days.
They immediately tried to persuade staffers to leave the building. That would have left no one to protect the museum's contents, and no one inside the museum had the authority to give that order, Lyons said as he inspected the grounds.
Museum Director John Bullard was on vacation and assistant Director Jacquie Sullivan had taken a disabled brother to Gonzales.
"We can't just leave and turn out the lights on the say-so of someone we don't know," Lyons said.
