I would buy that argument except for one thing...the water is higher now than it was 3 days ago and somehow they are able to get convoys of buses in there now to haul people out. So that must mean that there was a passable route 3days ago through which supplies could have been brought in. That argument...eh hem...doesn't hold water.
