Things are slowly returning to normal BUT our disaster is barely touched in the news out of state. For 4 days NO ONE had any electric, phone (even the cell phones worked sporadically), potable water except what they stored. Today a week and a day later we do have power to about 2/3's of the people BUT no street lights, up until Sunday difficulty in getting gasoline and boil water orders. We suffered less then most as we are campers, so we have everything we need to camp out but returning from vacation had little gas and water prestored. Fortunately the weather was cool and dry up till today, now its raining pretty good, feel bad for the people that lost their roofs. The biggest pain was GAS. Major oil companies should be required to have generation capacity here in a hurricane zone. We came within 24 ours of losing ALL PUBLIC SERVICE including fire, police and the like due to lack of fuel for their vehicles. jdn
