One can only hope that this is a wake up call for everyone nationwide.

Looks like 9/11 would have prepared us better, don't it.

Bodies floating in the muck is an image that won't fade anytime soon. That's something I believe we have all associated with third world countries, not our own. Very, very sobering situation in all regards. The effects are going to be very long term from this one.

Speaking for myself, I have also realized that seeing the photos of so many black families who have been hard hit is very sobering. I had to be honest with myself and face the truth that my world has only included 'Cosby-esque' blacks. Sobering on all fronts.

Amen!! I was on the Capitol Beltway today and tried to envision all the "refugees" who might be there if something catastrophic of this magnitude happened in or around DC.
