All best,

The flooding and power outages are a bummer.
I live in zone B which is the secondary evacuation zone. Zone A is one block
from me.
The subways are flooded and they are beginning to pump them out.
Last year we had a hurricane hit New York at the same time. It's odd because

Yes, I was going to ask, Where to people evacuate *to*?
I think people stay in their homes not because of bravado but because a)
they feel overwhelmed by having to make plans, b) they feel safe in
their homes because they are identified with them and have filled them
with their identities and

Is memory also such a thing? Can it outlive the person to whom it is said to
belong?
Simon wrote this question, and i was going to say, yes, this is something i
always assumed, and Jonathan refered to this also in regard to how trauma may
be passed on from generation to generation.
this is a lovely full-circle conclusion for the month, though we've got

Hi - I think it's more that they feel they can _do something_ to protect
their houses; leaving, makes the houses and them vulnerable. I've thought
a lot about this because I'd be one loathe to evacuate; instead I'd be

Oh, say hi to Jen Karmin. What are you talking about?

Yes: overwhelmed, no transportation, no where to go. That's what happened in
the 9th Ward, and that's
why people couldn't get out of the Superdome. Plus, after the curfew, now one
was allowed to move around.
It's all so familiar. Too familiar. It's just that it hit New York this time,

Whilst I have been a silent follower of the list postings this month
(most months in fact), I have been fascinated by the many things that
have been revealed and also very possibly not revealed.
Anyway, this last posting from Johannes took me immediately to the Orson

They want to make it easy for people to move if they need to.
In New Orleans, as I remember, people caught by the storm could not move around

I thank Maria for beginning the ending of the month by noting the full circle
