Not really, Christo, but I think it's wonderful that you're making the effort here. Like everyone else on this forum, I am heartsick at the devastation that has been visited upon our beautiful, as you say "second home". Doesn't look great, either, with Jose close behind. The main thing is that almost all of the wonderful people that call these islands home are alive and unhurt. As Miles at Conch used to say, "you can fix boats, but you can't fix people". There is nothing that has happened that time ( unfortunately, a LOT of time), dedication, love, hard work, and yes, money, won't fix. It may take years, even decades, but the spirit of the islands will be stronger than anything mother nature can throw at them. I have to believe that or the sadness is almost just too much to bear.
