Sure Irma's path in Florida is a mess. Millions without power, clean drinking water and for that matter communication. But we need to look a bit south to those island nations that are less affluent.
Since many of these islands depend on tourism, the recovery must be quick in order to meet the winter demand for tourism. (like me who wants to escape the New England weather, sit on a beach and each Fresh fruit and vegetables).
Oh yeah the All Inclusive Beaches Resort is still closed for business.
So as I said earlier, always anticipate hurricanes in the late summer in the Caribbean before travel plans. You do not want to be part of the problem. Stay home.
