The aftermath of even a weak hurricane can be miserable, nobody’s been dimishing that. If you have no power, the nearby gas stations have no power as well, so gas won’t be available until either they bring in a generator or the electric utility gets the power back on. Same goes for ice, refrigeration requires electricity. If there are sites set up for storm aid, there may be a semi with a reefer trailer giving out bags of ice. Ice is a precious commodity after a storm. It’s not easy dealing with all that, plus water in the house on top of it all. But, this really was not a bad storm as hurricanes go, count your blessings. At least you have your lives, are uninjured and have a house to return to once the water recedes. Be thankful.
I am thankful and I know they are too. I’m sorry I let others here bother me.
Actually, there have been a fair number of people on this forum diminishing that the hurricane was horrible.
The southernmost part of the state had an especially long and grueling time under hurricane conditions as the storm grazed Cuba and the slowed and pivoted to go north.
