Nearly all the stories of violence after Katrina was BS. I'd worry more about the news reporting unsubstantiated rumor (and racist BS) more than I would the break down of society.The possible breakdown of civilized society scares the hell out of me... like the lawlessness that reigned during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. People looting and attacking eachother, idiots shooting at rescue helicopters trying to airlift people from hospitals. I seriously doubt my own ability to protect my family during such an event and it freaks me out.
