This article was 2 wks after Ike hit. I do agree with the article about it affecting the poor and the not-poor very differently

Wikipedia states it took weeks and some places months to restore power - I actually don't recall, we never lost it for very long, but are 60-70 miles from the coast. I felt so fortunate, almost guilty for coming through it unscathed.

I lost my banking job of 16 yrs about a month after it hit, the entire economy was in the crapper & my 401k lost about 75% of value before I was able to get the funds out/move it
