it's not PC to blame the victim...

...but sometimes a disaster is nobody's fault but the person who dies:

Pontchartrain Park resident dies when storm shreds FEMA trailer

By Leslie Williams

A hopscotching tornado leveled at least two houses in Pontchartrain Park Tuesday and killed an elderly woman who was hurled in the air with her FEMA trailer, which was shredded to bits.

Neighbors and family members identified the woman as Stella Chambers, 85, a longtime resident of the closely-knit neighborhood.

Chambers was living in a FEMA trailer in front of her home in the 5800 block of Pauline Drive. Her flood-ravaged home was being repaired.

What kind of family leaves an 85-year old woman alone in a crappy trailer during a severe thunderstorm? That's the old joke, why are divorce and a tornado the same in Chalmette? (someone loses a trailer in each.)
