It was terrible the devastation, but what I couldnt understand is why so early on, the military switched from search and rescue to one of stopping the looting.
They showed one lady on the news who took some running shoes from a store, and they asked her why she was stealing it, she said I dont have any shoes, I cant see through the water, what do you want me to step on some glass. I mean if I were in that position, and needed food or water or some clothes to wear, I might find myself doing the same thing, its hard to say. Besides most of the people/businesses have insurance, I would have thought the safety and welfare of the people would have been the number one concern.
Im glad to hear that your relatives are ok.
