I don't understand how anyone could get any sense of things until everything is cleaned up. Of the 330 perwson missing many had to be swept out to sea no dounbt. Any disaster like this a certain percentage go unfound. There has to be a tremendous rodent problem because of all the debris left laying where it came to rest. Most of the inhabitants of the affected areas must not have had any insurance, because that would have paid for cleanup of thier property just as after a fire. Regardless of whether they have insurance or not though the feds or the state should help out the people whose homes were destroyed by cleaning them up, so they have a plot of land to put a trailer on thats sitting nearby doing no good whatsoever to anyone.
The problem is many homeowners dont want thier houses ripped down until they can go through and collect thier stuff. hence some of the problems with bulldozing the entire mess. Its not as easy as it all seems. The money is there...congress gave how many billions of $$ to NO? Its how it gets spent is the problem. Who gets the money and how its spent is the issue, not wether we sent enough.
