It was exactly the same after Hurricane Wilma devastated S. FL.

Same here after Wilma. No water for a week, no power for 16 days...not a Red Cross or FEMA worker in sight. We all just worked together, shared our food and water, sat in the dark...

Until the out-of-state power worker sent 220 down the 110 line into my house, burning it down...

government is no substitute for community and church; politicians and bureaucrats are no substitute for friends and neighbors.

Took the insurance money, sold the lot, and moved to New Mexico. No more hurricanes!

Bought a bigger, nicer home. Started my own business. Very happy ending, so far!
