one thing I can say is that there has been limited looting. At this point in New Orleans even the cops were looting. It really shows the difference in the type of people out there. The rockaways and long beach are having problems but thats about it and it isn't wide spread just here and there. People on long beach who shouldnt even be staying there with no heat, water, sewage, electric etc are hanging signs that say I am home and I am armed.
