3. "You can hold on steady, and try to get ready / but everybody's gonna get wet/

Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet."

(Jackson Browne, "Running On Empty")

[Ghost in the Machine]

4. It makes me feel bad for the people who depend on that place for their paycheck...

[liberalmuse]

6. Same here.

Even with what little they pay. I did have an evil thought, wondering if they had let the employees go home yet.

5. Who better than Wal-Mart? I feel bad for the PEOPLE who suffer any flood damage from that though.

Not the Wal-Mart company people, but the regular folk. Wal-Mart SUCKS.

7. Think of all the toxins leeching into the water!

:silly:

8. Dry.

:shrug:

9. Like some city planner and/or commissioners need to be fired.

Especially in a flood-prone area, paving a square quarter mile is almost as stupid as putting a basement in a house that's below sea level. Under normal weather conditions, where does the runoff from that monster-ass parking lot go? Into the city's poor neighborhood?

10. Conflicted.

Walmart sucks.
People are going to be out of work for a while.
Global warming denial may hit home for some who have denied it.

11. photo

That photo is a metaphor for what our country has become.

[Blackhatjack]

12. Incredibily sad... it reminds me of Eastern NC after a Hurricane flooded everything...

You know if the Walmart is underwater there are families with their homes under water as well.

It is devastating.

13. How is RESCUE response going --? Not that I care about Wal-Mart--!!!

[flvegan]

14. Show me the houses in the area.

WalMart has the big insurance. Don't care, short of folks not having a job to go to.

Otherwise, fuck 'em. Cost of doing business.

[Whisp]

15. global villagization. without the village of the people.

just spillage.
trap those shoppers in another sea world for a weekend.
glub glub
big fish eats little fish.

16. Are they having a red tag sale on boating gear, rafts and sump pumps?

[spag68]

17. I feel like

they should have parked those trucks in the back.

[devilgrrl]

18. Does it float?

eom

19. Not sad about the ruined slave labor Chinese products

However, knowing the situation there, anything that people need for survival should be removed and distributed.
