My heart is bleeding, I love these people.
Dominica was hit hard, but two years it was tropical storm Erika that did a ton of damage, I was on one of the assessment teams too. So Dominica has had some real double whammies.
Malaise, you have a pic of Bob M. as your avatar. Are you Caribbean?

(36,745 posts)we are eventually going have to consider permanent evacuation of many of these islands.
I am wondering if we should be considering it now...

(269,063 posts)the problem is that Georgetown will sink like New Orleans but folks will have to develop the virtually empty inside of Guyana.
Most folks are on the coast.
