I saw a lot of this when I was there. The hurricane hit rich and poor alike.
I just think of my relatives, good hardworking people, never asked the govt. or anybody for anything.
They signed a contract for a roofer and carpenter the day we left.
What is astounding is how wide an area was affected.
Basically from Texas to Florida the Gulf Coast has been decimated. It's going to take time to get all the repairs made. In the meantime there needs to be somewhere for these people to live.
