**** “Super dome after Katrina? That place was a lawless crap hole.” *****
I was 15 minutes out and had volunteered for that duty, local cop turned me away just as the first tornado hit ... we beat feet, my friends that ended up there were forever changed.
I was lucky twice that day
I didn't go in after we started evacuating thousands via buses (Gen Russ Honore finally took charge), but I spoke to some who did.
They described it asa kind of Lord of Flies meets a large Sceptic Tank.
The water was off, because of no power. People just deficated and urinated EVERYWHERE! Diapers were littered on the floor of the whole place. Roaming gangs had already established "territory." Any food and water distribution had already been taken over by the thugs. There were stories of gang rapes.
No thanks.
Can you expand on that a bit?
