Back then during Katrina, one would never thought social media would be used as a form of communication. As seen through Isaac and Sandy, social media can be so helpful. During Katrina, blogs were used, but it wasn’t as comprehensive as Facebook or Twitter now.

Social media made things so much more convenient now.
