Following the devastation over the past few weeks, jeanie and I are heartbroken over what the victims are facing. We can't imagine the suffering... if not from total destruction, even flooded basements or flooded cars..
Did you ever have to recover from a natural tragedy? How did it affect your life, your job, your financial status... and maybe your social relationships? moving, changing neighborhoods etc.... ?
What, if any, kind of help?... personal, insurance, government?
...and, being a little bit old, any experience in dealing with upset in lives of the aged?
I owned waterfront property during Hurricane Sandy. It was thankfully much better than I thought it would be. My apartment was spared somehow, but my town wasn't. I was out of my apartment for a month b/c the town did not have power or functioning sewers.
Many of my neighbors did not luck out like I did. It was so heartbreaking to see people moving all of their belongings onto the streets and ripping their houses apart to start over.
We are 7 years after Sandy and some people still have not re-built. A lot of people couldn't get FEMA $$ & just completely abandoned their homes.
It was such a scary time and makes me never take where I live (Long Island NY) for granted. We are still very vulnerable. Sandy wasn't the 'the big one' and it's just a matter of time now.

In short... the aftermath.
Good grief.....it happens every year....especially to the same areas. Over and over people get flooded out of their homes.
You do realize that the media likes to video tape things that were not even destroyed in a storm and then say that a storm destroyed it. :smack
