As you noted yourself, all of these things (minus infrastructure damage) were present before - nobody should have expected these things to end, especially with a power vacuum situation (which has become increasingly problematic, I'll agree).
I don't really think we know enough to compare before and after, and it would seem especially near-sighted to compare while in the process of 'after' (aka rebuilding - wait until the roof and siding are finished before judging the house, amirite?).
