Compare and contrast ... were this a big city in the U.S., there would probably be looters running rampant in the streets. Just saying....

In 1989 we had a pretty good one here in San Francisco. It knocked out power to the whole city and there was a certain amount of death and destruction and confusion.

There was no looting.

There was no looting

True. And then you have places like New Orleans after Katrina; or New York during a blackout; or Los Angeles following damned near anything....
