Anyone who has been in an area hit by a cat 4 or 5 hurricane understands that civilization basically ends for awhile in the aftermath. That's a tough situation.
If a colony of the UK, our staunchest friend and ally in the WOT, as well as historically, needs temporary help, I'd say we give it instead of selfishly telling them to get screwed (figuratively), as it seem some occupants of this thread are doing.
That said, however, the call for help, if it is to be taken seriesly, needs to come from government authority, either local or from the UK itself.
Considering they had a nearby 6.0 earthquake earlier this week,....then got hit by a Cat 5 hurricane,....hey man,..it ain't their week....he may want to address that letter to the Pope first.
