As far as price gouging, yeah it happens, but if you get caught by the man doing it, they don't put up with that shit in FL. Neither do the people. After Andrew hit and wiped out 1/3 of Miami, there was a group of 'entreprenuers' selling bottled water for like 5 bucks a bottle, and ice for about 10-20 bucks a bag. Some gang bangers got wind that tey were doing this, jacked their ass, took teir money, and gave away all the shit for free. HAH!! Whoever said bangers are all bad have never seen that.
Vile.. sucks you had to be evacuated, I wish you well and hope everything is gonna be ok with your house.
