Four Things a Catastrophic Flood Taught Me...
summary
A catastrophic flood covers a land area twice the size of Texas, floods 86 towns, inundates 29,000 homes and kills 35 people, and 23,000 volunteers show up to help — social networks amplify love and compassion and practical help. A volunteer developer releases a flood-resources iPhone app before the peak; local media map every indie bookseller’s status; publishers rush short-story collections and animated geo-tagged digital pieces while the crisis is still unfolding, proving community bestows validity and there is no container for timely publishing.
