Lots of price gouging too.The cost of a helicopter ride went from 1000 dollars to 10000 dollars overnight.

TADSLOS :" The thin veneer of civilization stripped away."

What wasn't blown away by the wind,
was swept away by flooding and storm surge.
Fox news just reported 30 known dead, and numbers still rising.
Wooden structures just collapsed or blown away.
Concrete structures without rebar, just toppled over.
Now we will see the cultural construct of neighbors offering assistance.

We were just on Grand Bahama over the New Year’s holiday the island was still trying to recover from hurricane Matthew in 2014 and there were still many destroyed houses especially in the town of 8 mile

oddly there were giant hotels there they were completely empty and had been for years because obviously there’s been an economic downturn there

nearly 100% of the economy is tourism and with the growth of Nassau New Providence I think a lot of the tourist interest in that large goofy pine laden an island got diminished

the population Is about 90% black and even in the time there we noticed some sketchy behavior that wasn’t anything new for us dealing with city people our whole lives

but I can only imagine when all hell breaks loose what is going on there

Just as you find out who your real friends are when the chips are down , you find out the true nature of beef bowl with a crisis hits
