My prayers go out to people of da Gulf Coast who suffered so much lost with Hurricane Katrina. So many people and so much lost, its hard to make sense of. I have no doubt that the people have faith and our grateful that they do have their life. Things can be replaced. It is hard to think of how could God let such devastation occur. I guess when there is devastaion we all look for someone to blame, and God is there for us in good times and in bad. As much as we pray for good things, we are also dump bad things on him too. I pray the people will find some kind of peace even in there hour of their greatest need.
Anden there’s those freaking Looters! Bachi I tell you. How bad is dat. It so pissed me off watching dumbasses raiding other peoples homes and stores. I understand “taking” things for survival in a time of desperation but the news showed people that were taking “things” like clothes, stereos, in general other peoples property.
Yes if I was in that situation I would prolly be a looter too. But it wouldn’t be about clothes and stereos. Hello, there is no electricity and you won’t have electricity for weeks. If I was looting it would be in da camping section. Porta poddy comes to mind, cause their ain’t no plumbing either. Its serious roughing it, so you gotta think wilderness survival. Matches, candles, flashlight, batteries, propane stove. I would be filling up my backpack with beef jerky and foods la dat. Water, looters need to steal bottled water.
Water not clothes. Whats da point of having new stolen clothes when you gotta walk in dat kaka water. Oh and there’s no showers. How miserable is that, in that kind of humidity. Yucky.
Da Looters should go rob da Drug dealers house. Cause dey always have cash yeah. In da movies dey do. Da druggies of the disaster area going be hurting big time. No drugs around but I’m sure dey will be some entrepenuer drug dealer still trying to deal.
Before it was even mentioned in the news I was thinking snakes, alligators and dead bobies from da graveyard not to mention those swept away. Those alligators & snakes are going to be hungry and there’s people walking in the water. I would be so freaked out. I cringe just thinking about it. I would be so hopeless. Imagine walking in dat ugly watah and something pops up; pick one alligator, snake or dead body. I would die of a heart attack. Da alligator would kaukau good if he/she ran into me. It would probably save someone else from getting eaten cause da buggah would be full and tired afta eating me, yeah. One less person for da Red Cross to feed.
You gotta give alot of props to da firefighters, newspeoples, police and all the other serice workers; Corp of Engineers, city officials, Red Cross and Salvation Army to name a few. You figure da local firefighters, police, service workers & newspeoples etc are those who have lost their homes too and they are working to help others. It is those working people that makes a community, not those dam looters.
Its hard to think of good stuff, even though being alive is good. But imagine loosing everything and not being able to even go back to where you live, assuming there still is a house. Where do you start? With prayer no doubt. Some people are being evacuated to Houston, TX and if you don’t know anybody in the area would you want to go to that area? Is there a choice? Can you imagine if you 8 or 9 months hapai, if you have your rags *LOL*, if you have little kids, just every little thing becomes/is a stressfull situation.
The logistics of this disaster is unpresedented. How do you plan for something like that. You don’t. You do what you gotta do wit wot you got. Its hard to even phantom.
I pray things get better and that the worst is over.

Tita Lika, What happened with Katrina makes me scared to think what might happen in hawai’i or any place else too soon. It hit home in America! It wasn’t a terrioist attack but one of Mother’s Nature or of god if you want to call it. Whatever force it was…it brought destruction that we have never seen in our lifetime. I hope we never do again. Thanks for a wonderful read!

Yeah….if the hurricanes that hit Hawaii ever hit Honolulu instead of the countryside or the neighbor islands, things could get really messy as well. As far as the stores that were looted in New O’leans….insurance probably covers much of the damage and any store goods that were not drenched by the hurricane, would be moldy when the store’s building were finally attended to. So personally I don’t thing that should be looked on from a financial point of view. However, it’s the principle of the thing. And the selfish looters are greed induced. I don’t know if the pictures of the looters shown on national TV will diminish the amount that people would have otherwise contributed to the relief effort because the looter don’t speak of everyone. I heard a report that one govarnah (sounds like guava huh) is authorizing the military “to shoot to kill” the imbeciles. Sounds fair. Alligators? Never thought of that myself.

I still no more cable so we haven’t been watching the news. All the information I have is from what I’ve read in the papers or online news. It’s bad enough losing most of your cherished possessions in a disaster, to lose everything else to looters is adding salt to injury. It’s good that people are videotaping the looters, perhaps after the city is rebuilt and back to normal, the state and federal governments can review the tapes and prosecute the looters.
