Hurricane Katrina
Thursday September 1, 2005
Did anybody else not realize how bad this was going to get until it finally happened?
Having never experienced a hurricane first-hand and not having any real knowledge of the geography of New Orleans, I just kind of figured, “Eh.” Florida seems like it gets hit by a hurricane every year, and they just appear so routine and like nothing all that special.
But then you get the swamplands. And the beneath-sea-level thing going on. First everyone’s just evacuating and you figure it won’t be such a big deal. And then you realize the poor have no way of leaving.
Then the hurricane passes over, and the looting and fighting and pushing and shoving and all the other great aspects of human nature surface from the flood waters.
It’s feeling a lot like the carjacking mob scene from War of the Worlds.
