and FEMA? Where do I begin? I have a lot of experience witnessing the results of their efforts. Their cause is a noble one, for sure, but as is usual in government, the execution of their duties is usually deplorable, and incredibly wasteful in the end. As a property manager, I have many times witnessed current or former tenants ripping of the system for untold thousands of dollars, when I never witnessed any losses of theirs at all.
If you are living in or near the disaster areas, you will be witnessing it yourself over the next year or so. Many of your neighbors will be putting in "claims" for losses they either never suffered, or they will grossly over exagerate. Much like the insurance fraud game people play, but the difference with FEMA is that their agents in the field often cooperate in the fraud by going door to door practically looking to encourage people to produce claims for assistance of all kinds. Trust me. I have seen it with my two eyes.

I got power back around 10am on Friday morning.  A few of my relatives didn't get power until Saturday.  There's still quite a bit of clean up that needs to be done but for the most part property damage seems minimal.

I got down to my house at Cape May Point on Saturday.  I am happy to report no damage, no flooding just a lot of clean up around the house. I feel so bad for the people along the coast to the north.  I hear there is a Nor'Easter coming this Wednesday.  I really hope it doesn't.  No one needs a kick in the face when you are already down.
