I wonder what shape their airport is in? If it is functional, could they,
for the immediate need, somehow get the people over to the airport, and have
huge airplane just flying in supplies? Airport property is usually huge,
miles and miles. Could set up shelter and just keep one or two landing
strips open. I'm sure the powers that be are doing everything possible...
it's just a thought that went blowing through my mind. Maybe the airport is
under water, too.
