You are very fortunate sir.  Our suburban neighbors were not so lucky, so they may be out of the game for quite some time recovering. To be forced to drop 10K+ to handle the damage (basement floods, flooring, foundations, siding, boats, docks, erosion, stores closed, employees out of work, no incomes to provide for the mtg, family, damages..... etc.

Price gouging is rampant:  sump pumps that were 100 at Home Depot are going for 500+ on lawn sales.  Recovery cleaners to pump out and clean ones basement starts at over 1500+ plus the cost of the damages to replace.  No one had real insurance for this: Hurricane-it was a TS, so no coverage, flood- act of god - no coverage.  Real damages covered are at 30 Billion, total in uninsured make that 75 Billion.  Listen to the governors of NJ, CT, NY.  Its real bad in a already piss poor economy, with Fema having no money left.

This has to change the game that all the players are out and the suburban guys (LI, NJ, CT) were alot of the clients when in the city or based out on LI for the ladies. Without 30% or more of their clients alot fo ladies will be sitting around lonely.
