Some of these photos are very sad , they show the plight of the people who live and work there.

This is heartbreaking. So many people have so little to begin with and now they're homeless. Has a fund been started to help these people?

The looting photos were a bummer. I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

If this type of disaster/ damage occurred in the U.S. for example Las Vegas or even a small place such as hokey pokey somewhere in the U.S. the news media would have much more in depth coverage and disaster organizations would be heading there to help rebuild.

Here is a link to the daily mail with a video clip not only on the looting but areas where the working folk live.

Nancy, please remember we are dealing with Mexico, NOT the US.

You can't use your US thought process when dealing with Mexico......and is Hokey Pokey (Iowa) what it's all about???
