..and because of bureaucracy, this school will likely be closed until next year. I've been to many places during and after hurricanes, and this is minor damage. I remember going into a larger convenience store which had lost its entire roof. The whole store was illuminated with an eerie blue glow from the tarp that was now the roof. The ceiling tiles were almost all gone, what lights that survived were hastily hung and in disarray. A speaker was hanging by its wires but was still belting out country music, and the store and life operated just as if nothing had happened. Kind of surreal. They managed to reconstruct the store without closing and its still going today.
@@michaelhowatt-mcmurry2807 I'm not a construction contractor but would be willing to help. I did help get a few skyscrapers back on-line in NYC after hurricane Sandy though. Verizon said it'd be at least 6 months before they could get phones and internet to those buildings. It took us about 3 days.
This building was built well, the walls stayed standing. The roof was its weakest point. I don't know what it was made out of, but I doubt a tar or concrete roof would of been badly damaged.
It’s such a shame that the roof failed. A few ceiling tile to clean up and replace would’ve been easy enough. But no, days and days of rain has made its way into the building causing more wide spread damage. Seeing daylight thru the roof and making its way in, is not a good sign.
