Not even close (IMHO). It's going to take weeks to close the holes, not
sure how long to pump the water out, then clean up, remove bodies and
debris, fight off diseases, start getting food and water back in, and so on.
Don't forget, there's still a pretty good chance another hurricane will
affect them soon.

This cleanup effort will be in the order of months, and to return to any
sort of tourism/conventions will take 1-2 years minimum, not 1-2 months.
Just my 5c.
