I just don't understand why the news would want to show areas that are 20 feet underwater and homes that are no longer standing rather than showing you folks out with your bottle of Windex washing your windows after the storm.

Well, yeah, but you know what? Some people really don't get it, like an old family friend in IL who emailed my wife telling her that we could stay at her house until ours was rebuilt or repaired, clearly assuming our place had been completely trashed. She wasn't the only one who reached out either based solely on what they we seeing on the news.
