I believe I heard more than one news-guy saying that it really doesn't matter if you believe in global warming or that these storms are unprecedented........... the insurance companys do! Anyone rebuilding will be faced with houses on stilts and a whole new foundation plan, like it or don't get insured.
The cleanup is massive but one thing FEMA is doing the job and there aren't many photo ops by the administration , just help. I would think the corp of army engineers (asked for by Christie) are already moving heavy equipment and helping with the grid and the fuel problem.
I think my trip in that area will go on hold for a while maybe after a year. When Katrina did its thing so many years ago the first things that were fixed were the casinos and big hotels the people weren't even in the picture for any type of restoration for a long time. Heck I'd bet there still isn't a library in Gulf port yet, last time I looked it was still a FEMA trailer. I think things will be better with Sandy.
