Katrina: Gas From A “Good Samaritan”

As FNC correspondent Rick Leventhal and his crew drove to Biloxi this morning, they were running “dangerously low on fuel.”

Around daybreak this morning, “we decided to get off the highway and try and find a good Samaritan in a neighborhood nearby who might have a can of gas in their garage, or might be willing to siphon some out of their tank,” he blogs.

They found a savior who “had a bass boat with at least ten gallons in the tanks, and graciously offered to share some with us, even cutting a stretch of his garden hose and doing the suction work himself, getting the gas to flow from his boat to two small borrowed cans.”
