But not all of us lived through the worst natural disaster in the nation's history.
But surely you are not comparing an evacuation of Grand Forks to an evac of NOLA, are you?
No, its not a direct comparison but there are some similarities to learn or observe. I menioned GF simply because it was an evacuation of a city due to a flood but any natural disaster could be used for comparison on people behavior. Also becuase the thread is based on events that happen up north here.
The behavior of the people for one during first a moment of crisis...and second a time of rebuilding.
Thats something that may never be truly known. Certainly, we always think what we've gone through today is the worst ever....but I wonder.
Its not meant to demean anyones experiences. Just to put things into perspective.
I was thinking about the drought years (weather related disaster) of the 30's, the dust bowl years. Those were certainly harsh times during the depression and it was a much larger national event. Compared to a more focused disaster in NO.
