Katrina:

What can I say about this awfulness that has not already been said...yet, maybe say something unoriginal- something said everyday- is a good way of show solidarity with those who are in pain and affected. So I'll say it: I'm praying for the millions displaced and homeless and lost and dead and feeling hopeless by this storm.

As a scientist, I was very interest in the causations of Katrina. Why was this storm so destructive? What enviromental factors contributed to the strom's doomsday-like verocity. Asking these questions only led me to define the word "Destruction".

Destruction in the context of the human condition; how the storm affected the people of that region? What was destroyed? Homes, ways of life, commerce, industry, families... lives, people. All of these and every instance, every particular story is as tragic as the next.

animals, plants and the entire southern wetlands of Mississippi and Louisianna are disrupted, polluted.
