Knowing how other disasters have been covered, all actual coverage will be wiped, or the select chosen grifters will cover it and get all the ad rev. The cities you hate will recover as they are deemed invaluable to both the corporate and political elite. The buildings are all large and heavy enough that even if they get fucked with there's still going to be enough rubble to rebuild the hives. What won't recover is the entire swaths of towns along the east coasts, especially the coastal ones. those fucking things will be fucking GONE. What's gonna go on that land then? Amazon warehouses? Urban sprawl? Nothing? Whatever the case things will be fucking lost forever.
