Storm damage in Cape Cod
I'm planning a vacation in Cape Cod later this month. I hope to bring my bike to explore the area, but I'm wondering how the area is post Ida. I saw that there was a tornado in the general area (the city of Dennis) and everywhere got torrential rain and high winds according to every news report.
Is the area safely bikeable or should I leave the bike home?

Tourism is a big part of the local economy. It will be bikeable before your vacation.

Losing tourism income is a powerful incentive for local governments to clean up storm damage.
I'm always surprised how quickly storm damage can be cleaned up. What takes me a day in my yard -- get a crew with power tools and heavy equipment, and it'll be gone in 20 minutes.
