Regarding skilled labor, I know this is significantly worse than Luis, but I had several roofers as clients back in 95 who spent the winter (when their business in the NE is limited) in SXM, housed by the insurance companies, and made pretty good money for a winter in SXM. Bottom line, if the insurance companies are solvent and cutting checks there will be no shortage of contractors ready to spend the time away from home for the virtually unlimited work, especially over the winter.

Great Insight! This point has given me the most hope so far. As long as the insurance companies comply, rebuilding COULD happen at a reasonable pace! If I didn't already have a business, I'd grab my hammer and be there!
