I was only involved in one of those, during mild-mannered Dennis in Jamaica. Our party involved Red Stripe, rum, and sharpening a cutlass while attempting to keep water out of the house. We did get to be a little more useful on the following day, surveying damage and helping at a couple of relief shelters.<BR/><BR/>Here in Babylon, I'm digging for information on damage from Gustav and Hanna on Hispaniola and the other islands and keeping an eye on Ike, which seems to be brewing big. Strange how much easier it is to get updates on damage to a golf course or resort in the US.<BR/><BR/>Hillwilliamhillwilliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361528043026312201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873428070705332290.post-28062021750945941392008-08-28T15:20:00.000-04:002008-08-28T15:20:00.000-04:00Wow, another hurricane already!
