Its so hard to see and hear news from new Orleans slowly coming. Hearing from friends and getting more and more from the news. A friend emailed me this morning unsure of what to do. His job is flooded and who knows when or if it will reopen. His home is flooded and has lost everything in it. He is headed towards family while he figures out what is next. I think about the people who didn't have private transportation or the money or other resources to leave the city and how they are surviving. Is there ever a plan for these people. Does the city or state think about how to evacuate these people.
Reading headlines like "Bush Views Katrina Devastation From Plane" makes me feel crazy. What a surprise that our president would witness the damage from his plush dry couch in the sky no where near the damage. I love that we have a "president" who is so good at passively watching destruction (like other destruction we know about).
so heartbreaking to see all this devastation.
