New Orleans, pt. 1million
When I heard on the news yesterday that three tornadoes had blown through New Orleans, I thought it was a joke. I mean, come on. This isn't the midwest! These things don't happen in that part of the world. Right? And considering that the city is far from recovered from Katrina ... I can only imagine what that must feel like.
All I can think of is that song by Depeche Mode: "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours/But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour ..."
At some point I just started laughing at the absurdity of it. Because, frankly, I'm just tired of crying.

I saw a man interviewed on CNN the day after the tornadoes. He'd just finished putting a new roof on his house two days before to replace the one lost during Katrina. Yes, the tornadoes took his roof again.
I'd have felt just a little cursed, but he was laughing about the absolute absurdity of the situation.
