The scope of hurricane Irma's destruction in the Florida Keys is only just becoming clear over the weekend Irma made landfall on the chain of islands as a Category 4 storm an unknown number of people chose to hole up there during hurricane despite the mandatory evacuation orders and they have since been more or less cut off with power and cell phone towers down. We know there is some serious destruction in the Keys and Florida officials are assessing the damage Here's Rear Admiral Peter Brown from a helicopter observing some of the hurricane's tracks there's some significant house damage there. Heavily damaged big structures. That were I've been asked about. The Defense Department has moved the u.s.s. Abraham Lincoln to the region to help with the evacuation of residents who are now stuck in the Keys with no power with no water that could be thousands of people N.P.R.'s Kirk Siegler Trying to us now Kirk what more can you tell us how hard is it to get out to the Keys right now well it's virtually impossible unless you've got access to a plane at this point there's a lot of devastation and we're starting to get a better sense of that as you said it's been cut off there's been no cell service in a lot of places no power. We know that there have been extensive amounts of homes destroyed trees and power lines down gas stations just mangled by the winds and the storm surge sent boats thrown up on to roads and as you say you know that we're starting to get a sense that there's going to be a huge humanitarian mission there there are estimates of up to about $10000.00 people who didn't evacuate. And they're going to have to be evacuated off the island at some point we are learning more and then clean up if you got it exactly we are we do know that some people mainly people living in the Key Largo areas are going getting access today and they're going to get back home and start doing some assessments I mean that's got to be incredibly frustrating so some people are getting back in but so many people are just waiting they can't go back home they don't know what's going on right in this scene down by the road block where police are diverting people because they don't want the traffic stacking up as anxious evacuee. Are waiting out there you know it's pretty tense a lot of people have been diverted over to this huge racetrack where there's an empty parking lot but there are a lot of there are actually no services when I visited there and there are people like Mark Schweitzer who are just camped out there with his r.v. And their boats out there as well people waiting to get back in and I talked to him and you know he was very frustrated Let's hear a little bit of that now why did people says dumbing down my driveway for 3 days you know I'm not stupid I left but I thought I could get back I'll never leave again so Rachel there's a lot of frustration there but you know people waiting to get back and he had driven up to Orlando and come back down here and he knows that his house is Ok and he knows that the road getting to it is passable so you're just waiting to get back in but there's no food no gas not much is open but officials I imagine don't want to hear what he just said that if there is this thought that all of the government of the officials cried wolf in the storm wasn't going to be so bad and now I'm never going to go back I mean it would next time they call for an evacuation that's dangerous Exactly and this is the tension you get in in all sorts of natural disasters but at this stage you know a lot of people have been gone for more than a week there are a lot of testing nerves a lot of sleepless nights and people just anxious out here waiting to get back in N.P.R.'s Kirk Siegler thanks so much Kirk glad to be here all right I want to ask a public official the very thing that you just brought up we have Jimmy Weekley on the line he is a city commissioner from Key West he's on the line from Chattanooga Tennessee where he rode out the storm Jimmy Weekley Good morning to you good morning to you worried about hearing a resident of the Keys say I'm never going to evacuate again because he's just so frustrated Yeah I am and there's a lot you have to understand. You know if they're so sick stayed behind in the cleanup crews that stayed behind they have to look at public safety 1st and with the number of power lines were down and the devastation that occurred all day don't want people coming back in and told they know that they're all dead. Protect their lives in the areas are secured from debris and the power lines to come down our reconnected so there isn't any a television. People arriving down there who are Laden and kicking a wire over picking up a wire to move and causes a fatality a lot of potential hazards there I'm going you have you been able to be in touch with with fellow officials who stayed behind in a stone Key West where they tell you I have by been able to connect with the. Emergency management people that stayed behind to see and Key West and to tell me that there's don't have any food that's not any water there's no fuel they are able to send some water in for. Rationing from 10 to 12 o'clock every day because at the damage to the pipeline you know we get all our water from Florida City which is just outside of Miami that pipe down and there's been a because of the destruction of trailer parks and water was it turned off there's water going into the ground of the Cogia trees turning over and breaking the pipeline and there's water so they've been controlling you know the time that they let water through the line to give people an opportunity to have some lines one of the bigger issues in Key West is set hours so a treatment plan went down as well. Oh really so that this is going to be a long road back to the case which it's so long while back I was able to speak with the city manager last night he has a landline that there's only one landline in the city hall there right now. And you can they can only call out on if they can't get incoming calls so he can call last night and they're looking at another 7 to 10 days before they're going to allow people in to Key West. However I understand that but yesterday afternoon the start allowed people back into the northern part of the county around the queue Largo area. Up to about 80 or 80 mile marker there are a lot of people back you know all right well and will be will be thinking about people in the Keys I will be really down yeah I'm here too so I'm going back probably tomorrow but. I hope I hope you make and people are doing Ok Jimmy Weekley the mayor of us thanks a lot thank you. Americans overall household debt has had a record high nearly 13 trillion dollars and rising which makes people wonder if we've already forgotten the lessons of the bubble of borrowing in the run up to the Great Recession Here's N.P.R.'s Chris Arnold the last time Americans had taken on a record level of debt we were in the throes of the financial crisis but the economy is in much better shape now home loans are being made to people who can actually afford done and a lot of the borrowing is arguably pretty responsible my hands and I recently had a baby in February and we've had a lot of changes in the past year Sasha Gallagher lives outside Richmond Virginia the couple just bought a house they spent their savings on a down payment so they use one of those 0 percent credit card offers to buy a whole bunch of stuff for their new home a washing machine a refrigerator a rideable lawnmower or and that fleece $6000.00 and it will probably grow because at this point appliance is on there but we really haven't furnished a home yet. That might sound like quite that credit card buying spree but Gallagher says she hasn't taken leave of her senses you know we're still driving both of our old beat up cars and basically into the ground he has housing a good school district is more important than a new car and Gallagher just finished pharmacy school and got a good job so she's gone from being basically a starving student to being the bigger breadwinner for the family and she says they'll be able to pay off that credit card pretty quickly likewise millions of Americans have found work in recent years and of course spending money keeps the u.s. Economy chugging along so maybe all this debt isn't so bad on the other hand some economists don't like this record borrowing Lucia Dunn is an economist at Ohio State University the new level of debt is cause for alarm duns been studying consumer debt for more than 20 years her research shows that overall only about half of credit card debt gets paid off each month and so she says that rising credit card debt suggests that more Americans are getting stuck paying those high interest rates being in debt is a very stressful way to live this lot of people who just you know in a hole and so stressed out of what we believe that group is growing we have to get him to forget the lessons learned from painful recession in 2007 to 2009 someone's son as an economist a Cal State he says he'd like to wave a cautionary flag about all this borrowing because the consumer spending is really the largest portion of the economy and when the time comes for an economic recession this is going to make the situation worse in addition to all that credit card debt and Merican so even more on student loans Sasha Gallagher who just bought the new House says that pharmacy school was not cheap yeah I also had like a mortgage or student loan payment. And I'd like to not have the actual number on the radio but it's a lot. Still Gallagher says her degree got her that new job that's got a nice paycheck research shows that if you have a college or advanced degree you're much more likely to own a house and earn a higher salary but rising student debt is becoming a bigger drag on many Americans finances Ok so household debt overall is at a record high but economists someone Stone says to keep it in perspective I don't think this is anything like what we faced in 2007 Chris Arnold reporting on n.p.r. News this is Morning Edition on case there are w I had on Morning Edition Apple will unveil its latest version of the i Phone today and apparently facial recognition will figure in the upgrade the idea of not having a pass code or a password having the phone just recognize you when you hold it up that's very appealing and what else to expect from the new on phone that's coming up on Morning Edition.
