(1,845 posts)That picture just looked wrong to me. Zooming in on it (and others that quickly came up when googling) I was thinking ... where's the food? Nobody is carrying packages? Where are all the people? Why does it look more like a parking lot than a food distribution center? Are all those cars brand new? Why do none of them seem to need a wash? It's Texas, why so few pickup trucks???
And ... in case you're wondering too, here's the source:

Sadly the photo is legit. The people are still in their cars, because they're waiting for it to open. And it's not at the San Antonio Food bank warehouse, but at a flea market called "Traders Village."
A wider view:
The scale of this disaster is just impossible to comprehend.
