Kind of F#$ked

[pahoated]

None of the news sites are even giving an approximate count of how many homes in Kapoho/Vactionland are total losses. That, and how many won't be able to afford new septic when the banks and insurers hardly recognize the area. The losses must be gut wrenching. Being without electric for two weeks is torture, but at least you aren't dealing with a huge loss. But I have been meeting more people leaving the island than coming, and several that I call flame outs (they fly too close to the sun). Lots of flame outs, coasting back to the mainland. If it is a struggle to stay here, then that increases the likelihood of becoming a flame out. The flip side is if it is no effort to stay here, and kicking back is the largest effort of the day.
