In hurricanes you cant get gas, food or water.


But thanks for showing your true agenda

I hope this thread is not an attempt to contrast with the post-Katrina looting of New Orleans. If so, you're comparing apples to oranges. The rescue effort after Katrina that completely occupied all law enforcement for days was orders of magnitude larger than that seen post Sandy.

Yay! People of color didn't loot during a catastrophic hurricane! They all deserve a first place trophy and 5 affirmative action interviews apiece!

Well there are some looting...(I'm tired so forgive me).

I'm just praying for the victims and hoping everything gets back to normal.

Also, if anyone on C-D lives where Sandy hit...I wish you nothing but the best-

Be careful...

The only looter was Sandy - she sure broke and took away a lot of things.

That's a mean girl alright.

At least she didn't try to get into serious competition with her sister Katrina.
