thankfully power is pretty easy to restore on perifery, where it's just downed lines. sadly, as you get closer to the center of the storm damage, there's less remaining that doesn't need total replacement, and getting those parts completed will take more time, and worse, power doesn't mean you have a livable home, it only gets you a better opportunity to create one. it can take a team of people a week non-stop to tear-out, clean, replace. for 2.5 million homes and a million or more business structures, before we talk about roads, waterworks, etc. etc.
