That's a bit rich of you. I lost my home of 30 years to Hurricane Ian last year. It's still uninhabitable today, ~5 months since the storm. My parents lost their home, and for that matter, half of the people I worked with lost their homes AND cars.

I consider myself lucky -- my home is damaged but at least it's still standing and can be rebuilt. So many of our neighbors' homes & businesses were completely washed away. The Gulfshore Inn had been there for 100 years through numerous hurricanes. In just a few hours it was gone -- not even debris left. The lot was scraped clean. 100% of the buildings on Fort Myers Beach were damaged. I still haven't heard numbers of how many can be salvaged and rebuilt. Even people 30+ miles inland had 4+ feet of water in their homes.

I evacuated to Volusia County ahead of the hurricane hitting the west coast of Florida...and ended up getting stuck as that location ended up getting 30" of rain, cutting us off from the main roads. I was in touch with neighbors in Fort Myers and coworkers throughout the storm. Comcast/Centurylink died early on and are still down in many areas, 5 months later. 2-way radios and cell were intermittent but worked well enough for short messages and calls. I knew my home was in trouble when neighbors were sending pictures of the generators' large propane tanks floating away and water over my garage. Reports from my office weren't all that much better, with buildings downtown having 4-6 feet of water inside them. The roof of our data center ripped cleanly off. I stayed in Volusia for awhile and went to a local church and offered to help, and there were no shortage of houses and trailers in the area which needed help. Moving furniture, tearing up carpets, tearing out drywall, repairing ACs & electrical, etc. I've never met these people before, probably will never see them again, but what was I going to do? It's not like I could go home.

I've been doing disaster management work for decades now. It was part of a previous job/life, but I still continue doing it today when nature acts out. I've lost count of how many hurricanes I've been a part of. Usually getting communications going again, sometimes power, or whatever needs to be done. Sometimes I'm there before, during, and after, sometimes just after, other times I'm the point of contact coordinating from outside the disaster zone.

...which is why I started this thread. I don't know much about earthquakes, but would like to know more.
