Looting: The police are looting. This has been confirmed by several independent sources. Some of the looting might be "legitimate" in as much as that word has any meaning in this context. They have broken into ATMs and safes: confirmed. We have eyewitnesses to this. They have taken dozens of SUVs from dealerships ostensibly for official use. They have also looted gun stores and pawn shops for all the small arms, supposedly to prevent "criminals" from doing so. But who knows their true intentions. We have an inside source in the NOPD who says that command and control is in chaos. He reports that command lapses more than 24 hours between check-ins, and that most of the force are "like deer in the headlights." NOPD already had a reputation for corruption, but I am telling you now that the people we've been talking to say they are not recognizing the NOPD as a legitimate authority anymore, since cops have been seen looting in Walmarts and forcing people out of stores so they could back up SUVs and loot them. Don't shoot the messenger....

Talked to my pops who lives in Mobile today, he's fine. Apparently downtown was flooded up to the traffic lights earlier, though. They don't have any power, and don't expect any for another day or two. He had to go to the state line yesterday, and he said Pascagoula was basically wiped off the map. The only casino related structure that survived was the guitar at the new Hard Rock Cafe and casino. He also told tales of boats and barges being swept inland by the storm surge and obliterating buildings like they were made out of paper-mache.
Being a dad, though, he ended up talking about work. He says his biggest job-related concern right now (he works for the school board), is the creatures that might still be inside various schools as they flooded. From past experience, he expects anything from water moccasins to gators.
Thank god I got out of that godforsaken town after Opal and Georges. |
