Sean Connery lives full time in the Bahamas. He road out the hurricane at his villa.

Said he fell in love with the place after filming Dr No.

The Bahamas has a murder rate on par with South Africa or Brazil. About six times greater than the USA.

Their hold on the rule of law is very slim. It is totally imposed top-down.

We will get incredible stories of savagery as news starts leaking out.

In the U.S., with heavily armed neighborhoods, when government breaks down, neighborhood militias spontaneously form in a day, preserving order and a rough rule of law.

That will probably not happen in most of the Bahamas.

Hmmmmmm
Do you help people or shoot them?
How about multiple times just to make sure they don’t dis you and take your stuff?

Starting to see why America isn’t mentioned in the Good Book.

Coastal Texas with millions of people was devastated by Hurricane Harvey’s Cat 4 winds and 48-60” of rain. There was little chaos, probably because Texans helped each other and because almost everyone was armed during the ordeal.

That is some Pulitzer quality reporting by the Daily Mail.

The images are heartbreaking.

You would think the gov’t and people would stockpile extra food and water before each hurricane season just in case? It’s not like hurricanes only happen every 100 years down in them parts

That’s the white male in me thinking what I would do but what do I know?

These aren’t looter guys. He was an American with tons of aid available - and probably already in a shelter - and should have been shot or at least arrested on sight.

A man in South Florida just sent 100 generators there a day or two ago.

I read about that and am skeptical.....
If true, what will be used for fuel?

I think the Brits (who sort of “own” the place) and the US ate providing fuel.

They’re independent but have some kind of spevual connection with the Brits. A lot of Bahamians came to the US to work on railroads and roads on south Florida.
