Where will they go? probably New York and Florida. With the island depopulated, the destroyed infrastructure will simply be abandoned, and the population that remains will once again revert to pre-industrial levels If the Caribs and Arawaks come back...mission accomplished.

With the island depopulated, the destroyed infrastructure will simply be abandoned, and the population that remains will once again revert to pre-industrial levels Most of the basic infrastructure remains in place (water, sewer, roads, airports, etc.), which was already in need of investment regardless of hurricanes. Some people will leave in the short term, but most will stay or return in the end, just like any other U.S. population center. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
