This makes absolutely no sense.

Civil unrest? Who said there would be civil unrest?

I don’t discount the damage that could be done by this storm, but with one huge exception, most people pull together in times like these.

Louisiana, Hurricane Katrina ring a bell?

Some idiots tried that after Rita in Houston and Galveston, but unlike NOPD, HPD and GPD stayed on the job and busted them in no time flat. IIRC, the looter season was sadly short last time.

There was looting after Katrina. In Japan they pull together... who knows what people will try to pull off in a disaster zone here...I’d like to think that we’ll be better than that...but I can’t blame people for wanting to carry concealed.

“...most people pull together in times like these.”

Yes, unlike animals who often turn against each other, ‘human beings’ will help each other during a crisis.

Perfect example would be the aftermath of Katrina down in New Orleans, i.e. looting, robbery, rapes etc.
