i don't know how rescue workers do it under those horrific conditions. in china they've had to burn some bodies and those poor people have to keep digging and going through the rubble to search for survivors or bodies.
this one resuce worker during katrina said he was frustrated trying to get people to understand that the immediate need wasn't the some 30,000 people in the super dome, but it was the 500,000 people spread all over a 100,000 square mile radius and then the 1,000,000 people who needed food, water, shelter and medical care immediately. damn thats daunting.
Voted : yeah it humbles me big time
It is sobering. Especially considering how no place is really immune to some type of natural disaster, whether it be an earth quake, hurricane, tornado, etc... I know people who thought they were immune to natural disasters until they lost everything in a freak flood.
Talking about Hurricane Katrina, the similar happened here during Hurricane Rita. My neighbors were complaining about not having electricity due to all the local utility trucks being sent out of town. Although we had destruction in our area, the trucks were sent south because it was a dozen times worse there. But you couldn't make them understand that, it was all "me" "me" "me", "my lights", "my food in the freezer", "my air conditioning", etc...
