Yeah I find it more amazing that an island that small is that crowded. Seems like any substantial size wave would just wipe it out. I would certainly be nervous living there.

No privacy at all. That would be my biggest complaint.

Or a fire, as it were.

That's what I was thinking, but then again you could say the same thing about any land-locked shanty town too.

They should hope on those boats and head for bigger land.
Was the airport harmed?

The 3:30 to Cleveland got out an hour late but besides that it was okay.

They probably just have orgies. That's my guess.

My guess is that there are far worse smells on that island, to the point that you wouldn't notice...

Well, you can certainly tell which directions the prevailing winds blow, yes?

Not really. It could have started at the left tip of the island and spread to the right, or it could have started nearer the middle of the island or spread to the left. Or it could have started in the middle of that destroyed area and spread evenly outwards. Et cetera.

That's actually a collection of boats tied together on its way from Cuba to Florida.

The island is "in the Caribbean" only by courtesy-it's a coastal island just off shore of the Panamanian mainland in the San Blas archipelago. In this part of the Caribbean the tides are VERY mild and the climate is paradise-like.
