what a mess. The physical damage is one thing, but economically it's going to be pretty devastating. Considering the number of businesses there and the number of people who work there. I'd guess a lot of people are going to be without their normal work for a long time. Without wishing to sound flippant, you're going to have to get a job in the building industry.
