If this was the missing data:
Read the excerpt from part 1 of Zeitoun.
In the neighborhood, other homes had been hit by all manner of debris. Windows had been blown out. Wet, black branches covered cars, the street. Everywhere trees had been pulled out of the earth and lay flat.
<span>The quiet was profound. The wind rippled the water but otherwise all was silent. No cars moved, no planes flew. A few neighbors stood on their porches or waded through their yards, assessing damage. No one knew where to start or when.

MY ANSWER IS:
SOCIETY HAS BECOME OVERWHELMED BY NATURE.
In every natural calamity we face, we prepare ourselves for any contingencies. However, there are instances when our preparation is not enough and the natural calamity is too much for us to handle that we become overwhelmed with the enormity of what we are facing with.
Thesis
A thesis sets forth a proposition that then must be defended. The thesis may state something about the cause or causes of a particular historical event, or about effects or ramifications of historical events. Or it may be about motivating factors within a historical figure -- why someone acted the way they acted in their role in history. A thesis is not simply a statement of a fact that everyone agrees on. A thesis is an <u>arguable</u> claim, and the defense with evidence given for a thesis will want to address counter-claims (any counter-thesis) that someone else might argue.
