The foliage has covered up a lot of the flood damage. The islands were stripped bare. I'd never seen it so mad.

We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

It's a bare bones thing.

It doesn't take much to flood those islands. With a storm surge of 4 to 6 feet, it's still going to cover a great deal. Depending on how well the homes are built and how old they are, they can get flooded out pretty fast.

We are at the bare minimal in food provision and it is heartbreaking because never have the needs of the people been so great.
