hurricane update

That mobile hospital has been set up in Mississippi.

That's good news, but this excerpt from the article is... shocking:

To get the hospital up and running, doctors cleared trees and other big debris by hand from the parking lot. They needed some bolts and decided to hunt for some in the Kmart, but when they opened it, all they found were bodies inside -- more evidence of the deadly storm.

In more ways than one.

What do you mean?

1) They didn't have the bolts they needed for a setup that is supposed to be so smoothly professional it goes in without thought.

2) They were going to loot a store to get the bolts.

3) Someone had obviously packed the store with the bodies, and without letting anyone know.

4) I didn't see a mention of how they finally got the bolts, but oif course, that wasn't newsworthy.

I really need to stop accidentally leaving anonymous comments. *sigh*

And also, "doctors cleared trees and other big debris by hand." WalMart parking lots are huge, yet there were trees in it. And doctors don't usually do that sort of thing. You'd think there would have been a bigger support crew.

It's going to get worse and worse as the water goes down.

Yeah, but this was in Alabama. I'm a little unsure as to how they died inside the store. Was Mobile underwater too?
