I have no doubt parties of the damned are taking place....
taking full advantage of the chaos, preying on people, dissipating off the contraband they have looted, carousing in the residences of others, away from the law or any societal constructs, they dance the dance of the doomed.
Now the Mob feeds on it's own raw emotions, gaining strength, confidence and we're screwed anyway so let's go really nuts.
God help all those who come into their clutches.
I think that describes it perfectly.
What's really disgusting is the number of submerged cars and trucks in all the pictures, often in the neighborhoods where there's looting and where people are begging to be rescued. Most of those vehicles are on the roads or in parking lots, indicating they were all operable before the flood. Hence, the looters and many of the currently stranded people got where they are because they refused to take the ample warnings that were given and failed to use the then-available transportation, nearly all of which has now been ruined.
