Yeah, me too. The whole "goodness of humanity" thing is seriously overrated and when we're talking about being trapped in a dark, half-flooded building with thousands of other people, no food, no water, no working toilets - it's gonna be Lord of the Flies time.

They're going to HAVE to bring in porta-potties. When the city floods, the sewer system is gonna go off-line. The city should already be bringing in supplies to all of the shelters. I believe FEMA has already started working with the State and the city.
