You are correct hoping no one is injured or worst, but it will put people to work. The down side to it is all the rip off artist move into town which in turn makes it harder for the legitimate contractor. But I have found after a hurricane the people that call you for work will be a good customer long after the storm has passed as long as you do a good job at a fair price.
You bet. You just helped them out during, what could be, one of the most tramatic times in their lives and if you do them good when they know that you are probably going through the same thing, they will be forever grateful.
When the '94 earthquake hit, we were working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. I got to one house on a Sunday and the lady gave me some attitude about how long it had taken to finally get to her house. I said ma'am I've been working 16 hour days for the last week, I live right down the stree from you, we're sleeping in a tent in the back yard, my wife is six months pregnant and I haven't even seen my house in the day light yet to tell you what kind of damage I have. She said you poor dear, that never crossed my mind, would you like to come in and have a cup of coffee. Ma'am I would love a cup of coffee and we sat and talked for about an hour. I can't tell you what that gesture meant to me at the time.
Nautral disasters have a way of pulling people together and making us stronger.
