One of my friends in college was a girl from Hollywood Florida whose parents had managed to get she and her brothers out of Cuba right after the SHTF, which was only possible because her father worked for an airline-and the family got asylum and settled in the Miami area. The stories she told me made my hair stand on end. She was hired by a company in Florida right after graduation, but her stories made an impression on me.
Her family was very conservative and always told her to be grateful that they had gotten to the US alive.
She was lucky they got her out... thanks for sharing that with me...
