The pictures are just staggering....it looks like total destruction of the town at this point. Hopefully folks fled the area prior to the storms fury. Thank goodness that much of the vegetation will regenerate quickly. It's amazing how all the foliage is just wiped clean from the plants, last December it was thick and jungle-like.

Hopefully the pier and complex will be rebuilt on the fast track, the sooner tourists can return the sooner income flows into the area.
