This will make things very difficult for first responders and rescue teams. With associated power and communications outages, I fear most for those trapped who have disabilities or illness or perhaps no food, water or shelter. As usual, those with no voice will suffer the most and the hangover from this ordeal will be with us for months.
In addition, damage to personal property, businesses and infrastructure will be astronomical. This affects at least one-half of an entire state, plus that in South Carolina and other areas not yet hit. I can see insurance rates for all coastal regions inching upward as we speak.
I just hope that we the American public are not too disaster fatigued and we pony-up to fund the associated charities that will help those most in need......
