ABSTRACT
I don’t know whether you had goldfish as a kid. If you did or didn’t doesn’t really matter, I suppose, because you know what a little fishbowl looks like.
That imagery helps to communicate what many disaster victims have shared with me over the years. Following a flood, their house may be damaged structurally, or it may just have six inches of goop standing in the living room. If a tornado was the culprit, the roof may be off, or an entire side of the home may be gone-that is, of course, if it wasn’t leveled. Regardless of the damage pattern, victim families report strong feelings about the side effects of convergence behavior. They get sick and tired of the endless stream of cars that pass by their home.
