STORM: The recent storm has caused many to rethink their dependence on electricity. People with turf were able to cope, as many of them, had grown up without the gadgets now available. The removal of trees was another contested matter, before a local person without any rules or regulations could do a clean-up. Now we have people in their polished shoes dictating to men on the ground and they having little work experience themselves, annoy the real heroes on the ground. Many have seen structures badly damaged and with cost of refurbishment, the only option for some is to abandon them. Few have spoken of the fear, and dread that old people living alone had to endure, from hearing the hyped storm forecasts. Thanks to neighbours, friends and relations, most coped in a satisfactory manner.
Who will be held accountable for lapses in preparedness and crisis readiness?
