I just finished reading todays paper and I'm ashamed I haven't been following this more. I realised that the damage was terrible and extensive but after reading almost an entire paper dedicated to the hell that is currently The southern US I feel a strange sickly sensation. These people are getting shipped from one place to another with no supervision. No one is being fed, no one has water, the cops are threatening everyone they see trying to protect property when they can't even save the people who are drowning,trapped in their attics, being raped in the arena they were transferred too. At the saddledome a little girl watched her father die, he put her down and jumped off a ledge to his death. Familys who had so little now have absolutely nothing and its sickening. I see pictures of people armed with semi automatic rifles and tons of bullets but no food or water or compassion. I agree the looting needs to be taken care of but since when have buildings and possessions been more important than human life. As for preparing for this.. I could say something but what happened happened and what needs to be done isnt so for now we need to get this sorted out and then work on future preparedness.
