I dread every time a hurricane rolls around. You always fear when that time rolls around when they announce the death tools of such natural tragedies. Not just the deaths from the natural phenomena itself but from the emotional toll it takes on oneself. To hear of someone in the Superdome jumping to their death, apparently willingly, adds another layer onto it. To become that disheartened to give into total surrender when nearly 80% of the city now lies underwater is understandable, but still tragic nonetheless. Add on top of that FEMA and the Pentagon coming in to take control under martial law in these emergency areas and I am sure there will be more hurt to follow.
I realize that more than just Louisianna and New Orleans were affected by this. I just happen to have a certain soft-spot in my heart for the city.
So whatever your religion is, I ask you to say a prayer (or whatever passes for a prayer in your religion) to your God (or whatever passes for God in your religion) for those who have died because of this hurricane and to pray that no further tragedy should befall these states.
Remember to help look out for each other because sometimes we can't all look out for ourselves.
