Knox County Sends Helicopter Crews to New Orleans
Sheriff Tim Hutchison and 8 deputy officers plus three helicopters headed down to New Orleans to assist FEMA with search and rescue work in the devastated area struck by hurricane Katrina. The KCSO aviation contingent was specifically requested by New Orleans officials.
Neither Hutchison nor Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale knew how long they would remain in Louisiana, but they expect most of the costs will be borne by FEMA. Hutchison said that New Orleans is “essentially isolated, like an island, and that’s why they need helicopters.” The road in and out of New Orleans across Lake Ponchartrain was destroyed by the storm making it more difficult for rescuers and relief vans to get into the area.
The heroes are many: helicopters and crews have worked non-stop as long as daylight exists, and we are in awe of their abilities, perseverance and dedication to the victims. They have plucked over 1400 survivors from the devastated towns without incident. Kudos too, to the shrimp boaters who have rescued over 3,000 people.
May God extend His mercy to all the victims and all the heroes and bring the misery and suffering to an end.
