My experience of going through a hurricane on island was,

No electricity
No food
no water
no gasoline
no outside information ( radio,tv)
no internet
no airport
no cc machines
minimal cash
blocked roads from debris
Had to make a decision each day how far to search for food as only had 1/2 tank of gas, how far out to search had to have gas to get back to the villa and gas to search the next day if nothing was found.

Ed, you had options, lots of them, you chose to to use them. Mine zero for days.

I'd a paid any amount to get out of that situation.
