and you never went to the French side where the devastation is much worse.
I have no doubt that those who stay on the dutch side will have more choices and more accommodations...and I respect and admire and rejoice for those people.
But the French side...Grand case...Orient Beach....the cul de sac have nothing left to rejoice about and the return will be much slower.
I don't want to be the Debbie downer...but facts are facts.
If you are a dutch side person...I am happy that you have something to return to.
I am a french side person...and everything i love is destroyed.
To say the french side got hit harder is totally false. The entire island was hit hard. I was there before and after and saw the whole island after the storm and the damage on both sides is dreadful. Certain areas of the french side were hit hard but there were many areas of the dutch side just as bad. You have to see the damage with your own eyes to make statements about what one side looks like compared to the other. Stick to what you know and don't second hand speculate.
