I guess you mean in Louisiana and Mississippi? They are in a baby boom, even though the area will take a decade or longer to rebuild. The inhabitants of New Orleans, whose homes were damaged, are still in limbo until the local government decides whether they are going to raze the area or allow them to stay. NO still going with Jazz festival downtown Bourbon street?

Building materials for Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi are scarce...due to the thousands of damaged homes. (Florida is still with areas that haven't been able to rebuild since the hurricanes of 2004!) There is a big shortage of roofing tiles...and many homes continue to "wear" the blue roofing tarps (plastic) to keep the weather out.

The animals that were evacuated to other states are slowly getting homes... mostly. Insurance premiums for Florida homes will rise at least 47% this year.
The cities that took in evacuees (people) are having problems now due to lack of available housing, jobs, and relief funding... in addition to increased crime.

Not very positive... other than, we are a strong people... and in spite of the lack of "assistance" from the media, will go on. Church organizations are the biggest assistance that is ongoing.
