Why do many natural disasters look alike these days?
They have many things in common:

-media blackout…for a while, then controlled media images
-slow to no response, maximizing casualties
-all crucial infrastructure destroyed–leaving people without police, hospitals, clean water, communications, etc.
-people with strange burns, keloid scars, whitened burned skin, dead continuously burning bodies, discolored bodies, charred bodies, etc.
-spontaneous fires
-when there is finally a response, it is treated as a war zone–often met with military action
-contractors get lucrative rebuilding contracts but do nothing but wait for years–almost as though they are waiting for something to end before they rebuild

Thoughts?
Katrina, Ike, Indonesia, and Haiti are some examples.
