My parents ran a restaurant when a hurricane hit here many years ago. They had the foresight to get the restaurant cleaned and patched up before the power came on so when it did they were ready to open. Reps from the utility companies came by and told my parents to have their employees sign their checks and someone would come by every and write them a check.. My parents made a killing; they didnt gouge, the guys just ate incredible amounts of food.
Awesome! The ones who come down and give of themselves do pretty well financially, but you need opportunity spend it. Your parents were brilliant.
