I smell BS. Why would they call the governor instead of the police?
A few days before the hurricane he did a big conference call with all the hospital executives in the state. During the conversation he gave out that number, which he said was his personal cell number, and ASKED them to call him if they had problems; he said he'd do his best to get the state on their problems. The police have to field calls from everyone; why WOULDN'T you turn to the higher authority who promised specifically to help you?
