So excited and so overwhelmed.

We're moving from the US to Denmark soon. We just had a hurricane destroy our city. We are fine, thankfully, but our city is in bad shape. I also just had a decently big surgery a few weeks ago and my doctor's office is gone, so in the midst of all this I have to find a doctor. Just coincidental timing on all of it.

But it's net positive. I look forward to the future more than I dread the bad stuff.

Is it that bad? I had thought the buildings would have mostly survived given the city was built to withstand them and that it was just too dangerous for people

How do you recover from that? Does insurance cover it?

I'm in Asheville NC not Tampa. We're not built for the hurricane we got.

Insurance covers very little. Not the fact that the city won't have water for months, nor access to you property, nor flooding for the majority of people, and many many businesses are gone
