Thanks for sharing Gaspare, I know anniversaries of tragedies can be tough.
Hard for the average person to even comprehend the dynamics behind "looting", a very evil symptom and something that can and will happen anywhere that social order breaks down. Needless to say, I agree with the spirit behind the "LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT" signs, I can easily imagine putting one up myself, and backing it up if need be, what scum.

Here is a recently posted huge gallery of aftermath pics for anyone interested, good as our imaginations might be it is impossible for those of us who haven't lived it like you to appreciate the scale of destruction, pics are the only way to begin to understand.

This is an under rated catastrophe, I think because the actual body count was relatively low and there was really no central, famous target like New Orleans with a mass of devastated urban population, people tend to think it was just a bad storm over in a couple of days.
