I gotta add... more bad news in Saint Vincent, sadly.Now the seasonal heavy rains have begun, widespread flooding is occurring - this is the worst it's been in years. It's a mountainous island, so the water runs off, but she showed me some video yesterday of major flooding and a TORRENTIAL river flow right though downtown Kingstown. So not only do they have thousands who can't get to their homes and are in shelters, now they also have additional people being displaced from mudslides - a home with a family washed off the hill yesterday or the day before right next to her uncle's house. The family made it out, but their home is gone. Everything there is on the side of a hill, essentially, and the heavy rains bring dangerous mudslides. During hurricanes this is what usually kills people there, not wind or surf.</blockquote>
