My guess is they will be the first ones to call for the US government to come and get them out. I live an hour inland from the Gulf in prime hurricane country. It is no joke, no electricity, no gas for weeks sometimes. And that’s in the US, where the response is well organized.
I don’t want to imagine what it will be like after a slow moving cat 5 in a poor island nation. My thoughts are with Jamaica, this looks absolutely horrific.
