Ladies and gentlemen, this is a tragic situation that is unfolding, and our hearts are heavy with concern for the people who are impacted. It is also understandable that many feel frustration with the response of the government. This is and will always be the case.
There is a lot going on that we don't know about. Reports are sketchy, and none of us has all of the facts, or even close to it. I don't have a problem with "conspiracy theories", as we have seen some turn out to be true in recent years.
That said, this is not the place for that. Unsubstantiated X rumors, reports, commentary, etc. generally do not paint the whole picture. So, let's not get deep into rabbit holes without proof that something nefarious is going on.
Feel free to discuss what you're seeing and hearing, but let's not make this an anti-government thread or a right vs left thread and get the discussion shut down. We can avoid going there in this thread.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, some of whom may never get fully back on their feet. Let's focus our efforts on helping them, to the best of our abilities. They are our friends and neighbors, who would probably help us if we needed it.
Thanks very much.
