Based upon the media reports I did not expect to see what I saw. I arrived just after Wilma, and I thought there may be a little damage, however the extent of it far surpassed what I saw. I think the Katrina and Rita really burned people out on hurricane damage, and the media coverage reflected that.

There are elderly in apartments on upper floors without working elevators, power, or water. They cannot leave, and are relying on the goodness of strangers to help.
