[ur]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5215604/[url] I remember when the big tornado hit just south of me You could not get thru 1 because of the dammage and two because of the ruber neckers, they were even stoping on the highway, I just about rear ended a fool who desided he wanted a picture of the trailer park and the bunsiness that were hit as well desided to just stop right in the middle of the road did not even try to get over on the shoulder.

My mother wanted me to take her out to Andover to see that town, as half of it was flaten by the same storm. I said no as the emergency people and police were saying if you did not live there or had any reason to go stay away, because the roads were packed with ruber neckers, and they were haveing a hard time getting relief crews in there as well.

I would stay out also because I wouldn't want to annoy the people who suffered losses.

When Tropical Storm Floyd hit my area in 1999 two towns by me, Manville and Bound Brook, were mostly underwater and suffered heavy damage.  Dozens of homes and other buildings had to be condemned.  Many families were still living in school gyms and Red Cross centers for weeks after the storm.

Some weeks later I decided to drive around in Manville to see how bad the damage was.  People had debris stacked up 10 to 15 feet in front of their homes--it was liking driving through a canyon.  Some neighborhoods were still sealed off from non-residents by the National Guard.  I remember on one street someone blocked it off with a matress and spray-painted, "Looters Will Be Shot" on it.  I believed them.

At that time I worked with a guy who was a part-time freelance photographer.  He wanted to go to the disaster area to take pictures.  I warned him not to because the people there would probably pull him from his car and lynch him.
