Originally posted by wordup I can understand your concern. A relative has a friend in Florida who intends to 'ride it out'. It's the roll of a dice, I'd be more inclined to get out of the area. Fingers crossed our kith and kin stay safe.

Still they're all criminals and drug traffikers so doesn't matter. You are so predictable it's getting funny.i sincerely hope they get all the help they need. And for your information the army have already sent supplies and royal marines to the area. always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Originally posted by wordup It'd be a different reaction if it was Gibraltar too. A silence too predictable to bother highlighting. Yes, the islands, mexico, florida all look to be in for more of the same. Mother nature can be vicious. It's human nature. You're going to very concerned about someone in your family or a close friend who's in danger. Then is there's an earthquake in your town you're going to be concerned. If it's in the next county, less so. A close country even less so, and by the time it's the other side of the world then yes it's sad but it's not going to keep you awake at night. It's not unpatriotic or a lack of caring it's just how life works. Snide comments that people aren't posting about the commonwealth is all rather silly. Does the commonwealth mean anything these days? Not to me. We're hardly in the days of the British Empire. Yes the damage and lives lost are sad for those affected but let's not go all 'Princess Di' every time someone we never knew dies. You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

Perish the thought Here,we are not just talking about the commonwealth.We are talking about places that remain colonies British dependent territories,where we have a legal as well as moral responsibility for disaster relief (and prevention).
