Pat...this time may be different. After seeing the pictures of the damage at the airport itself...may take quite a while to be able to get a plane to land or take off there. In one of the posts it mentioned you couldn't even see the runway through all the sand. Don't know how they will get the tourists that are on the island out of there. In an other post someone mentioned that they expect a high loss of life. God...i hope they are wrong. Pictures of the Sonesta looked like pictures of the old mullett bay....in some you could actually see the steel girders through the holes in the buildings......horrible. If the Sonesta basically collapsed...can't imagine how some of the lesser buildings fared.
