One of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded crescendoed over the Caribbean on Thursday, crumpling islands better known as beach paradises into half-habitable emergency zones and sideswiping Puerto Rico before churning north. It is expected to hit the Florida Keys and South Florida by Saturday night.
More than 70 percent of households in Puerto Rico were without power. On St. Martin, an official said 95 percent of the island was destroyed. The Haitian government called for all agencies, stores and banks to shut down as the storm hit. Prime Minister Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda said that half of Barbuda had been left homeless.

All the dirty clinton money destroyed?
No, just a convenient diaster to grab more. Just like Hati after the quake.
I remember shortly after I visited the island on a cruise about 30 years ago, the island was devastated by a hurricane. They rebuilt then, and will do it again. The residents are very resilient.
