That's for sure, at least they didn't have to fight the snow. And the families in sarasota that still had homes would cook food and drive around and feed the one's that lost their homes. Some of the people there lived for months in make shift tents. Arcadia was hit bad too, lots of low income white families there had it very rough for a long time. I was so thankful I still had a home so I spent the next month helping out anyone we could in the nearby towns. I live in Ft.Myers, and when I would hear someone gripe about not having power, I felt like slapping them! At least they had a home still standing. So easy to take things for granted...until it is gone.
