I'm the only person in my family of five who hasn't been in a major hurricane. During my older sister's ordeal, she was hit by the eye of Hurricane Ivan in Grenada while studying there. I seem to remember that Mock's parents or something were entailed in the same one, or something. As I told SF, the country was so ill-prepared for anything (they hadn't had a tropical storm in 80 years) that everyone rioted and all the prisoners who were held in a 17th century fort (serving as a jail) escaped. A security guard she would talk to on her grocery runs was assigned to prevent looting and he ended up decapitated with a machete.

Those Caribbeans really are JUST LIKE those Malibu and Red Stripe commercials, you know.

The ABC news branch here has a service called "Call 6 for Help", and my parents called them to say "Hey, our daughter is studying on an island and it's gone now. Do something." So, they interviewed my parents about how they felt about all of it in our house in Indiana and surreptitiously we got through to her on an emergency phone when they were there so they talked to her and the news lady was all like, "so, hurricanes suck, no?". For some odd reason, Univisión picked up the story and aired our segment nationally, probably under the assumption that people spoke Spanish there after Cuba tried to take it over.

As for me, I think I get enough adventure without the help of natural disasters.
