A True Doomsday Prepper
3 hurricanes, 3 big cities, 3 different results.
Harvey first. Houston. I've mentioned this before. First two people I heard of breaking into someone's house were shot and killed. A friend of mine that lives there heard a truck pull up to the back of her house. She went to her back door with her handgun & large dog. 3 guys quickly got back in their truck & drove off VERY quickly (nobody shot). I haven't heard about hardly any other crimes, at least no more than 'normal'.
Irma across Florida. 100's of thugs have been arrested. Plenty of crime still going on, above average, but not out of control. But then FL is a reasonable area with 'mostly' honest people.
Then there is Hurricane Maria & Puerto Rico. See http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article179863816.html . PR is a well known corrupt island, crime normally is rampant. The article makes many really good points. For example without power there is no alarm systems. No lights to deter crime. Few phones to call police & can they even show up. 34 murders since Maria (known cases), they had 670 total last year.
Stressful times bring out what people really are.
