Default Hurricane Ike TFR

Is this a TFR typical for a disaster area like this?

It is very common. Pretty much anytime there will be any sort of rescue
work or special air traffic related to something on the ground (like a forest
fire) you can expect a TFR to pop up.

This guy appears to be seeing conspiracies where there is none. The
presence of a TFR over an area that has been devastated by a hurricane is
standard procedure. The fact that it only goes to 2,000 ft. would tell me
that no one is trying to keep news organizations away. With the equipment
onboard most news helicopters these days, you can zoom in and read the
writing on someone's T-shirt from 2,000 ft.
