Hey!

Good luck to those suffering on the Island with possibly 3 to 4 weeks without electricity.

Denis

Thanks B - We'll take care of it today. Our hearts go out to everyone who are suffering.

BTW - my reply to your email was not delivered to you. Your SPAM Blocker blocked my email.

Hey!

If any viewers have any pics of the damage it would help with the donation effort. Not sure if the airport is open and the status of the lights and water....it's a small island with a BIG problem.

Denis

good idea.
there are some pictures here on this thread of the area around Provo, although Provo did not get hit as hard as Grand Turk and Salt Cay
[stormcarib.com]

here is another site
[2gringos.blogspot.com]

and this is an ongoing hurricane feed talking about damage etc
[www.mogulus.com]

and I found these pictures of Grand Turk

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some pictures from Cuba... The situation is terrible there too. They were hit extremly strong and Gustav already made some damages few days ago... I wish something could be done too for those people and for once put politics aside!!!

OMG how terrible!

US turns down Cuban hurricane pleas
Published: Sunday 07 September 2008 16:56 UTC
Last updated: Sunday 07 September 2008 16:56 UTC
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the United States is not prepared to relax its trade embargo against Cuba, despite Cuban pleas in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Gustav. Ms Rice said the embargo would only be lifted if Cuba held free elections and released political prisoners.

The Cuban foreign minister had asked the US to allow assistance from US citizens or companies, and permit Cubans to purchase food in the US. Gustav has caused severe damage in Cuba, with thousands of houses destroyed and millions of euros-worth of damage.

Are they for real? That is shameful!
