This hurricane stuff seems like a preview of the coming apocalypse. You know, like if Ianqui and her peak oil pals are right. One interesting learning from this experience is that being able to grow your own food, maintain a generator and all that is completely worthless unless you also have some weapons.

When I first heard about New Orleans being a big old mess, I pictured Baltimore and what that would be like in a disaster, because both are pretty dysfunctional cities that basically coast on the fumes of their past glory, funded by convention and tourist dollars. Immediately I thought of piles and piles of guns and tens of thousands of junkies. So I kind of wondered if this was going to happen.
