Hurricane Katrina

Water quickly fills the town, a natural disaster and the levees came down; still no one could see the ground, helplessly watching friends and family drown. People stuck up in their attics, on cell phones they'd get nothing but static; houses completely covered in water, see mother standing without her daughter. No need to go back, you have no home; you've lost your family, now you feel so alone. The feeling that you have nothing to live for, no choice but to steal your next meal from a closed store; hundreds of people packed in shelters, diseases continuously spreading through contaminated water. Every few seconds as I watch the death toll rise, both the young and the old all have tears in their eyes; a big place with less hope, less funds, and less lives, it's like having a value meal minus the drink and the fries.
