Hurricane Katrina had caused great devastation to several states in america, particularly near the gulf coast. as the states are mostly under sea level, so when the storm surged past, it destroyed the barriers and caused most part of the city to be flooded. houses and many properties are gone within one day. for survival, people looted stores to get water and food. however some black sheep of the society started looting gun shops and armed themselves, upsetting the order and law of the society. they stole recue goods, shot at helicopters, drug addicts barged into hospitals for a sniff or two. worst still, some evil people raped young girls at the superdome where most people stayed. as toilets were overflowing, people just released themselves on the floor. such scenes are just too sad to be seen.
US, a country of civillised people, how could such things happen? i think when disasters happen, at times of desperation, the evil sides of people just surfaced and dominated them.
but glimpses of sunlight can be seen. president bush had visited the area and more troops have arrived. more rescue troops and supplies have arrived. people are gettin the help and they are clearing from that place to a safer and better place.
hope is there. there are definitely help from us. singapore even sent 3 chinooks immediately when the us counterparts asked for help. such strong friendship displayed makes me proud of singapore.
may god bless those in sufferings to see light quickly. hope they can get on with their normal lives asap.
