In reply to the discussion: Your favorite hurricane phrase? [View all]csziggy
(34,150 posts)43. After Hurrican Andrew in 1992 Florida had a come to truth moment about contracting
First was the amazing amount of property loss and some lives lost due to shoddy construction. Then the number of unscrupulous fake contractors who stole from people who were already desperate. That's when they tightened up the requirements and made it harder to become a contractor. Every so often some idiot tries to relax the standard but everyone who lived through Andrew - and any other hurricane or storm - pretty much tells them to STFU.
