I read once somewhere that “the veneer of civilization is tissue-thin.” Turns out it’s true, as you can see in New Orleans and Biloxi, where Katrina did a bang-up job scrubbing off infrastructure.
It doesn’t seem possible a disaster of this magnitude could happen in the United States, but there it is. Millions of lives disrupted, possibly thousands lost — horrible.
Kafkaesque had this Red Cross Donate button — it’s linked directly to the official Red Cross donation page. If I could go to New Orleans and bail water out of the streets with a plastic pail in a bucket brigade, I would — but there are other ways we can help.
