Talk about anxiety, I’m dreading reports later this afternoon on what property damage they’ve sustained.
But I commend Premier Dr. Michael Misick for ordering the airlift of all intensive care and special needs patients to Miami a few days ago.
Because chances are very good that many parts of the country will be without power for an extended period – after Ike (now a category 4 hurricane with winds of 135 and gusts of 160 mph) blows by. Which makes me wonder why the Premier was pictured delivering raw eggs to those left behind as part of their emergency supplies…?
Thankfully, I am reliably informed that the British have ships on standby in the Caribbean Sea with more appropriate supplies, including food, water, medical supplies, shelter-building equipment, as well as a helicopter (and, hopefully, a few marines to help enforce law and order).
NOTE: The British Red Cross has launched an appeal for funds to assist hurricane victims. Therefore, I beg you to contact them at the address below, and please request that your donation be ear-marked for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Thank you.
