See post 12 on New Orleans.
They still have not recovered from Hurricane Katrina in 2006.
Just because it is not covered on the news does not mean it does not matter.
I totally agree and that was my point. There seems to be some outrage because LA is supposedly getting more coverage than NC. But aside from local news and some periodic special interest stories, these disasters don’t remain newsworthy unless there is a new development. I expect it will be the same for the LA
LA fires soon. It doesn’t mean that nobody cares or the victims don’t matter, it just means it’s not “news” anymore. If people have a special interest there are ways to stay connected.
