The first thing I thought of some of the the tourist coming in the next few months. Why? Many places won't be semi inhabitable for 6 months ( or more). The whats left greenery will be dead from the salt spray in the next few days. The possible tourists will be consuming up the resources the local people need since supply ships will take time to arrive.

I came almost a year after Luis ( this hurricane is much worse) and the island was still in much dis array. It took about 3 years after Luis for the island to be "semi normal". And actually 5 years to not see effects of Luis.

Many places will never be rebuilt. THEY ARE GONE, But you can have fond memories

There will be new places BUT they will be years in coming.
