Last week, there was a two year commemoration of the Hurricane Katrina. Having not been in New Orleans at the time when it happened and only seeing pictures, it felt surreal driving by the infamous super dome which was a major center of refuge for many. On the day I drove by, there was no soul in sight and the place seemed so peaceful. To think that 2 years ago, there were dead people stacked up against the wall. Quite surreal.If you had not seen the pictures, you would not believe it.
Speaking of pictures, just watched a spike lee/HBO documentary.
"When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts".
It really brought the magnitude of the aftermath of Katrina. What was scary was incompetence that followed in handling the situation .
More info from.

After seeing the documentary, it made think of a 'what if' situation. What if a major natural disaster hit Nairobi, Could we manage? With the level of incompetence? I doubt it. Ama is Nairobi already a major natural disaster? .....Just kidding.
