Someone asked me Mon. if I had heard how the fires started and I hadn't heard until today, a gal I work for had cnn on and they were saying that it's possible arson. They also were interviewing a lady with an insurance company and the interviewer was asking if homes that were filling up with smoke, like yours wolfpits would get any sort of compensation, she danced around the subject but the jist of it was no.
I started working on another video last week about hurricane Katrina (to yes Jack's song Insanity, much to some of y'alls dismay) Anyway I have watched the PBS video and the National geographic and Spike Lee's video, read the book "a city adrift" And with re-living all the evacuation efforts and failures, I really feel for you guys out there!!! I also can't imagine losing everything and having to start over from scratch, not to mention losing heirlooms and precious photos.
I can't help thinking ( and this is just my stupid observation) the fact that it could be arson, well, what a way to take down a nation. With 911, all the hurricanes and fires, insurance companies and state and Fed. revenues become depleted, officials become pitted against one another and it's bound to trickle down to the average citizen when premiums and taxes all go up drastically making us even poorer. Good thing we're pretty tough, and have great music to get us through.
