It looks like Great Inagua Island (Bahamas) should now be through the worst Irma will throw at it?

I thought maybe that island would be big enough to diminish Irma a bit, but, it’s mostly flat, 1/4 of it is inland lakes (probably very warm?), and the highest spot is only 132 ft. elevation. Other stats: 596 sq. miles, under 2 people / sq. mile, home to a large Morton Salt facility (#2 producer of “solar” sea salt in the world), and also home of a large avian sanctuary, with over 80,000 West Indian flamingos, as well as many other species. It is also home to a sea turtle sanctuary, as is the island of “Little Inagua”. Damage to the salt factory is unknown; I’d think the birds must be in a very bad way; maybe the turtles did better?

And... Hopefully that factory has very safe areas for the people!
