Wait til you hear about Puerto Rico after Maria. I was there 2 years after and there were whole parts of the island that had no power or running water. It took me almost 2 months to get my gear shipped in as they had an active triage on what was shipped by need. It was one pallet, thats how tight it was even after 2 years.

The less touristy parts of New Orleans were still fucked (though not without power, afaik) in 2012 from Katrina in 2005.

2012? Those scars still won't smooth out for another two generations.

Absolutely believable, I just haven’t been back since 2012
