STORM SANDY can be a test case of my predictions done around 2 decades ago. US which once was an English nation, is a mess of so many feudal languages. When the storm is over and the people come out, there can be huge social communication problems quite akin to the social repulsion seen in feudal language nations like Pakistan, India etc.
Fights can break out as a huge section of the people do not know English social manners of right to precedence, civic sense, and many other things which were not seen in the outsides due to the people living indoors. As to the administration, it is also possibly filled with a similar class of people from non-English nations. There might be two or more persons in a communication route, who speak the same feudal language. If that be so, then administrative efficiency shall be quite low. Sponteneous response to critical issue can be slow paced or nil.
