As crews labored to repair the lone highway connecting the Keys, residents of some of the islands closest to Florida's mainland were allowed to return and get their first look at the devastation. "It's going to be pretty hard for those coming home," said Petrona Hernandez, whose concrete home on Plantation Key with 35-foot walls was unscathed, unlike others a few blocks away. "It's going to be devastating to them." [ Source (Read More...) ] View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sewage-like stench hung over the place. I don't wish to sound unsympathetic to loss on this scale, but I do have a question: If one chooses to inhabit a mobile home in Florida (especially in the Florida keys) - an area especially prone to hurricanes - is it not reasonable to expect your home is going to be destroyed at some point? Yet the government (i.e. taxpayers) will foot much of the bill for rebuilding. It doesn't make sense. But then, not much of what the gov't does makes sense.
