The Aftermath

of Hurricane Katrina dominates and overwhelms everything. Like the events of 9/11 it seems surreal. Where/how will these people even start to get their lives back in order? Can their minds even comprehend what has happened? Mine can't really wrap around it. One day life is going on in a probably mundane fashion and the next day your home, neighborhood, city is either gone or drowned, and you are displaced, maybe stranded on a roof, maybe bodies floating by. Chaos reigns. And now they are going to try to evacuate all the rest of the living people from New Orleans, put them in the Houston astrodome. It's all just crazy, staggeringly, stunningly incomprehensible.
