RastarMarn know he going to get some Blows for this but allyou compare the two hurricanes in the 2 links provided bellow yeah,,,
Look at the effects of this Ian hurricane on the trees in the Florida area then look at the pictures we have from the effects on the wind damages from when Maria hit DA,,,
There is a stack difference in how the leaves and those trees were affected when Maria hit Dominica,,,
Those two hurricanes were Category 5, Ian was 155 mph and Maria was 160, you mean to tell RastarMarn 5 mph makes that big of a difference where it looks like a Bomb went off at 160 mph and 155 mph just toppled some trees and washed out some homes close to the beach, sinking some boats???

Amen. Lord have Mercy on your Mercy seat, really sad.
Terrible, truly terrible! It reminds me all too much of our own calamity when hurricane Maria nearly sucked the live out of us. By the grace of God we were lucky to survive so I can vividly imagine what these poor people are going through. I know the area. Ft. Meyers at 80,000 has a population slightly bigger than our Dominica but the land is only some ten feet above sea level I guess, so one can only imagine the damage caused by flooding. May God have mercy on all vulnerable people on earth. We make a lot of noise, quarrel and fight but really we are less than ants when faced by the forces of nature like these.
