RUSH EXCERPT:
BROADDUS: “Well, it happened less than 10 miles from where we are right now. I’ll tell you more about that in a moment. First, take a welcome at this line. The lines here have been long. People waited in line for nearly 5 hours. An employee said they’ve been so busy, the generators broke. Not one, not two, but three of them. That’s what led to the delay in opening the doors here today. There’s also a load of ice being delivered right now at this hour. If we pan over, you can see it. Those bags are going to sell 2 for $5. That ice is a hot commodity. It’s what people have been craving here in New Orleans. The ice is how they remain cool. Keep in mind, Fred, and those watching and listening, there’s still no power in some parts of this city and across the state. More than 700,000 people are still without electricity. And tensions are rising. Less than 10 miles from where we are right now, police say a man was shot and killed who was trying to get gasoline.”
