A sort of gloom and unsettled feeling in the City as I an experiencing it. Perhaps it is because one never knows when one will run into a friend or acquaintance who is still keenly and deeply influenced in their daily life by the storm’s aftermath. The Thanksgiving holiday is approaching, but so many families are still in great need. They are without their homes, and I have heard tell that insurance companies are not being gracious in rushing to reimburse those with water damage, explaining that they- the homeowners – should appeal to the Federal Government and the Water Damage Restoration Program they cover. [A bit vague on the name or department.] Some localities have only this past weekend their power restored, and some others not yet. Savings are being used to cover costs and those savings were perhaps for the holidays, food and presents. It is an uncertain atmosphere.
