Cayman used to be fairly civilized....bet hip-hop thuggery has infected there as well.

St Croix went berserk after...I forget which hurricane. The one which went on to hit Charleston.

Funny thing: I was on Guam after "super typhoon Paka" (150MPH+) in 98. NO looting. NO robbing or rioting. Just locals and military and "expats" all pitching it. Right after the storm, people were out clearing roads, shoveling sand, shifting trees, without being asked. There was a bit of thieving (generators especially) but NOTHING like looting. It was actually a very positive experience, in how people can react well after a disaster.

Funny how different islands are.

That's exactly the right term:

wielding machetes.
