I know what you mean...I drove up to Wichita Fallas, Texas after the huge tornado there many years ago. A mile wide path of complete destruction that also hit a mall. Over 100 died.

Really bad hurricanes can cut a similar path twenty miles wide and many, many more long. This one cut across the whole state of Florida...luckily, it doesn't look terribly horrific on a macro scale. For anyone who lost everything, its bad enough.

But yes, rebuild, put it back together, and continue on in life. We are blessed to live in the best nation on earth for that to be able to occur.

Did any midwestern state ever ask for $15 billion after tornado strikes. I doubt it. Y'know why? Midwesterners have sense.
