I just got off the phone with one local friend and asked about the looting. He said there is nothing left to loot at this point. They expected some from stores/businesses and houses that were not secured but then the "bad guys" (as he called them) started "busting up" secured businesses. He did think the authorities were getting it under control some but most anything of value has been taken already.

His thought on when they would have electric back, they are hoping soon but he speculated it may be Christmas before some areas get electric back. No water in his area yet.

He did say a lot of residents are helping other residents and neighbors with the clean up as there is nothing else they can do right now.
