Mental health providers described patients who, barely scraping by financially before the storm, were now confronting cataclysmic damage from flooding or fallen trees. People without the money to evacuate, who’d ridden out dangerous hurricanes in mobile homes. And then, after Milton dissipated, an increase in nightmares, overwhelming anxiety symptoms, and other indicators of post-traumatic stress.
