True but even if an island has as little as 1000 people a shelter built for 200 wont suffice. We need to distinguish between damage by a hurricane and damage simply due to our poor *disaster waiting to happen* decisions. Like why has the Sunshine group not been made to relocate all of Pinewood? If God forbid one day 100 people die from electrocution during a storm in that swamp what will we say? *Wow, what a bad hurricane*, *climate change* or *noone should have been allowed to sell that property for residential developmemt*
"*After the incident, police urged all drivers and passengers to ensure they wore seat belts.*"
I sometimes wonder if police are blind. Are they the only ones who havent seen those overloaded golf carts? How will 10 people, including children in laps of adults? each get a seat belt? Its probably over a year now that Erin Greene has been asking *someone who cares in authority*, maybe JoeBeth Coleby Davis, to address these open vehicles being used by tourists
One of the things that Debbie Deal did after Dorian that was in fact transformative, she did not detail "damage". She took pictures and picture by picture she documented why the damage happened. We would fare far better if we took that approach as opposed to spending money on branded jackets to appear serious
"*"I first conceived of Baha Mar more than 20 years ago only to see it ripped out of my hands at the brink of opening by CCA."*
This the cry of many Bahamians, Izmirilian is only a famous one among us, so is Toby Smith, but there are likely thousands of others who've presented good ideas with viable well thought out plans to contribute to the growth of the economy and seen them ripped away by brain dead dummies who couldnt produce an idea if you paid them a billion dollars
This is why our country's growth is stagnant to nonexistent. What's their plan? tax the people lucky enough to break above the gatekeepers angel of death crooked grasps with nonstop taxes on their innovations
God (my faith, for others its just dumb luck) saved us again... my goodness if it wasnt for him what would we do? It's amazing they havent dug the fill from under our feet ... and theirs... and sold it to Dubai for their fake islands
How much rain did Oscar bring? how far did persons experiencing flooding live from the lake, how many houses are there, were they near shore, are they in a depression, do they normally experience flooding in heavy rain, did water come into the house or did the yards flood with concern that it could get worse?
"*fence by the window at the airport was also down*"
So in general, "minor" damage from a *thank goodness it was barely cat-1* storm
