The Vision Forum supply, reconaissance, and extraction effort began today. At 11:00 p.m. we received word from our caravan that they are already witnessing the first signs of trouble. Vision Forum director of operations, Kevin Turley, reports that there are streams of buses of all shapes and sizes, escorted by police, driving toward Houston. One of our staff stopped at a gas station and was approached by five men offering him digital cameras still in the boxes. When asked where the cameras came from, the men took off. In addition, we are receiving eye-witness accounts of severe looting and shooting problems as far as Baton Rouge.
