Notice that NYTimes could not help but put in a plug for the Cuban Communist government. I have real doubts about their knowledge of facts on the ground in Cuba:

“Cuba is very organized,” said Orlando Eorlsando, 53, as he replaced his front door with bloated plywood in Havana. “The priority of the government is to keep people safe and preserve life.”

While the Cuban response seemed to be a well-oiled machine, elsewhere in the Caribbean the government reaction has been halting, critics say.

So, this wasn’t their first hurricane, then? Go figure...

I”m kinda surprised that, in an area where hurricanes are part of life, people are not more prepared.

I have a steep driveway. When there is snow in the forecast, I park my car at the bottom so I don’t have to drive the 80 vertical feet from the road to my home.

How could people there not have a TON of canned food and other fairly protected supplies? Heck, corn flakes come in sealed bags.
