Thank you - very moving stuff.

It is a zoo out there though, make no mistake. It's the wild kingdom. It's Lord of the Flies. That doesn't mean there's murder on every street corner. But what it does mean is that the rule of law has collapsed, that there is no order, and that property rights cannot and are not being enforced. Anyone who is on the streets is in immediate danger of being robbed and killed. It's that bad.

3. Dead bodies everywhere: convention center, down camp street, all over.

4. National Guard shoving water off the backs of trucks. They're just pushing it off without stopping, people don't even know it's there at first -- they drop it on the side in debris, there's no sign or distribution point -- people are scared to go near it at first, because the drop points are guarded by troops or federal agents with assault rifles who don't let people come near them, which scares people off. It is a mess. When people actually get to the water, they are in such a rush to get it that one family left their small child behind and forget about him until Sig carried him back to the family.

5. Lots of pics coming soon when Sig has time to update.

It's raining now and I guess that's a relief from the heat. It's hot as hell down there in the sun. Crime is absolutely rampant: rapes, murders, rape-murder combinations.

Beyond my comprehension.

Sharks and gators, OMG! :(

I did hear someone talking this morning about the aftermath when it gets to that point - I don't know why ppl are using the term aftermath now because the horror is just beginning - that in the aftermath as people try to put their lives together they will have to deal with wild animals, feral dogs, and snakes around every nook and cranny of the city.

Horrible, horrible.

My daughter has been blogging with many since this began. Some of the stuff was mind boggling. So much pain, suffering and death. A lot of looting by the police themselves!!! Heat, sewage, dead bodies ... disease will thrive!
And a president whose biggest personality trait is that he is a good liar!!!
