I have already looked into going down and setting up shop after the storm. Was considering doing this for a nine month period. After going into the Fla.gov site, I found there is no reciprocity with regards to my license.
Just saw a video from Bahamas showing that the water had been drained out by storm surge. Looked like the films of that tsunami from a few years back... Crazy forces of nature.

Very few US airlines are still flying 747s. Most have gone to more fuel efficient twin jets that have extended range, 767s and 777s, on international routes. Hell, there are 737s now that can fly BOS-LAX non-stop.
