One year ago, I can remember the hours/days as the storm approached, listening to laser 101 (and their professionalism) that night until they went down, wondering and waiting and it was worse than I could imagine.

I remember Samaritans purse DC-8 coming in early and repeatedly.

I remember the Air Force-Guard going in bringing out Americans

I remember the King of NL/Pres of France coming.

I remember the first pictures and reports.

I remember people asking about whereabouts of individuals.

I guess in the big picture folks were lucky with little direct/immediate loss of life. ( I wonder if there wasn’t a Puerto Rico like death impact where stress and such precipitated more deaths).

Anyway, the island is resilient and bouncing back and people are coming back and we,can wait until December to do so,ourselves.
