Yes, I've seen them. Sure, they are our first concern.
Although I imagine a few troops in Cayman wouldn't hurt our efforts to help our own much.

I was living in South Dade County when Hurricane Andrew, cat 5, came through, was in our house with wife and children that night, we were in the eye wall as the storm went by, so I am well familiar with what goes on before, during and after a hurricane and the devastation they create, and how long it takes for a community to recover.

To tell you the truth, I have just about had it with this hurricane season, ever since Andrew, the things make me kind of jumpy.

I grew up on the coast, Sam and until Hugo was never afraid. They kept us at the Wpnsta until early afternoon - the highways were clogged and I couldn't get to Aiken to be with 'Bina and my Momma.

I was alright until two things happened - Civil Defense came on and said this is not a drill...

And they had haul Charlie Hall out of the Channel Five Station.

Then my brother called - the lights had been out for several hours - he said he was watching the weather channel and the eye was over Charleston Harbour - then it starting getting real quiet - then it started up again worst than before.
