I heard rumor that martial law had been declared - no proof of that yet tho.
For sure the scum opportunists will like leeches quickly see what they can gain, out of other's adversity.
Looting of stores is sickening but even worse is when what is left of folk's homes get looted - that to me is deserving of a lead snack!! Worse still here because so many folks will not be coming back for days or weeks - assuming too they have anything like a home left.
Two elements here tho I have to say, on consideration. The ''usual'' looting that so angers and repulses me is for material goods - the parasites that loot for anything they see of value and often trash things in so doing. OTOH under such extreme circumstances I can see some folks scavenging shall we say - just to find something to eat and drink... I do not get the same revulsion from that I admit.
I am appalled by the scale of all this - and every news report seems to find something more.
