I hate it that something like this bothers me but my dad was a businessman and he was looted during a similar, albeit much smaller, natural disaster. Fuck those fucking looters.

Peace

God bless America, and to all the honest people living in those damaged areas, peace to you all.

Given that the entire city of New Orleans is washed off the face of the state of Louisiana, I think that whatever SW/MP/Escort/Sex industry that existed before Monday will NOT be in existence anytime soon. Although if history is any indication, within 30 days of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, reports were that the city's "Red Light District" actually "reconstituted itself" in a part of Golden Gate Park. Good luck to all that this disaster has personally and emotionally effected. Your are being thought of, and suported.

Is sure it terrible to see the sad, unfortunate situation there. It's even mor terrible to see the riots, looters, and murderers making an already horrible situation even worse. It sure shows a dark and shameful side to humanity. I can understand someone stealing food to feed their starving family, but TV sets, and other non-food items, etc.? That's just sad. And the crazy ones shooting at those trying to come in and help them? I just don't understand that part, and I hope I'm never in a situation where I could understand. The people who have been affected by the disaster are in the world's thoughts and prayers.

This is a sex site most true but...

Why did it take the National Guard so fucking long to get there? Dare I pull the race card? This was 2-3 days in the making! Why were they so sluggish?

In a town with no power or shops open why work for money when money is no good. Unless the poor girls are trying to buy a ride out, I don't see any incetive for them to be working in this dead region. Even takening into consideration the ones that need drugs.

MM,

No race card here. I don't think anyone expected what happened to be of such magnitude. By that I mean the people who stuck around and thought that they could ride it out and the government, who I think were in shock as to what happened. Not many people heeded the warning "Mandatory Evacuation." As always, there are those unfortunate ones that CAN"T get out because they didn't have the means. This was an event of biblical proportion and rushing to the scene would have done little. Remember that there were 100,000's of thousands of people stranded. I feel horrible for all those unfortunate human beings. I think all of the government agencies have their act together now and you will see how quick America can recover.

It's a poverty thing. In the 1850's the same thing happened to the same neighborhoods and wiped out the IRISH!! People of Color (a term that has special meaning in New Orleans due to the African, Creole, Hispanic and Indian mixtures) suffered very few casualities.

From NOAA:

August 19-20th, 1812: A hurricane struck just west of New Orleans. At 5 PM on the 19th, winds began out of the northeast in New Orleans. Winds increased to a "perfect hurricane" at 11 PM. Winds abated after 2:30 PM the next day. Nearly all buildings suffered. All window panes in City Hall were broken. Fifteen feet of water covered the city. Extensive damage to buildings, trees, and 53 boats was seen. The levee was destroyed, which allowed the storm surge to submerge areas south of the city. Plaquemines Parish went under as much as 15 feet of Gulf water. Sugar crops suffered severely. Nearly 100 people died during the storm. Losses totaled $6 million.

Some public panic set in when after the storm rumors spread that the British had taken over Fort St. Phillip; this storm struck during the thick of the War of 1812 and the fort was controlled by the Americans at the time. In fact, the British fleet approaching the area was scattered widely across the Gulf during the storm. Fort St. Phillip itself went underwater.
