Hurricane Dean has just bulldozed the place and left. The devastation is horrible but manageable. I just came out of my house to look up the road, and there was a big tree that had fallen in the middle of the road. The gutters are overflowing with debris and people are just walking around outside, looking around in wonder, raking up leaves, moving branches and debris out of the roads and trying to get their lives back to normal. It's amazing that another storm changed its course just when it was about to slam into us.
