Long story short, I’m still fucked up, exactly one year to the day after that killing the buddha goddam Frances hit us. And I’m killing the buddha a securely employed middle class dude who didn’t lose anything of consequence. In 1999 I went to killing the buddha North Carolina and wrote a series of articles about the recovery from flooding after Hurricane Floyd. I went there six weeks after the floods (Tarboro and Princeville, primarily), and the most striking thing was the utter depression and rage that these people felt. I talked to people who had no energy and little will to live. They were fairly glad to be alive, but … well, some of them had that thousand-yard stare that made me wonder if they would ever be all right, emotionally, ever again. They didn’t get the mental healthcare that they needed, and it would be a shame of Katrina’s survivors were neglected this way, too.
