A week after the storm we didn’t hear from any family so I flew down loaded up with supplies. Saw the devastation firsthand and it was heartbreaking. Went for my scheduled flight off the island on October 1st to see many people stranded and scattered all over the airport and being told my flight on the 1st was cancelled and to come back on the 15th as it was the earliest I could get out. Insane! No power and being told in September you might get it by March sounded ridiculous yet at this rate it might be longer. Losing everything and then standing in lines at the bank for hours and being toldwe can only give you $100 to then get in lines at the gas pumps for hours to buy gas to get to the grocery store to buy limited groceries before it gets dark and the curfew kicks in because of the lack of power to then wake up and repeat the cycle all over again is ridiculous.
No generators on the island, no shipping to the stores, companies selling on Amazon that won’t ship there, scoundrels on eBay charging 4x the price for generators. I gave up looking because even if you can find one the criminal element down there was taken over and you’re at risk of people stealing yours.
