Hurricane!

Recovery from hurricanes like Hurricane Charley takes years.

NBC ran a news telecast from the Gulf Coast last night and it appears that the region is still a long way from recovery as buildings and debris still remain strewn all about. Even Punta Gorda in Florida is still cleaning up damaged buildings from Hurricane Charley from two years ago. There appears to be no question that the current system is broken. The ability for society to recover from such a natural calamity is diminishing as resources are stretched to cover larger areas with each storm hit.
