Trouvé sur la page FB du Buanero aujourd'hui. Je ne connais personne dans ce coin mais c´est là que je devais aller en février, on va changer nos plans c´est certain, désolée c´est en anglais:
Hurricane´s news
houses--90% damaged, many the roofs are gone, over 6000 homes totally gone
...
schools--500 damaged in different degrees
hospitals and clinics, many are partially damaged, some pavilions gone
airport--severely damaged
hotels
Bucanero--totally gone with no recovery hopes, the small group of workers that remained saved by a miracle and still in shock
Costa Morena--Gone
Carisol--Los Corales--it was damaged, I cannot tell yet to what extent
Sierra Mar--facilities at the beach were gone, rest of the structure stands
City Hotels--partially damaged but still working
City
After 4 hours of terrifying hurricane winds, flying zinc tiles, glass, uprooted trees, the city is a total mess. There is no power, the water available is chocolate brown and
contaminated, those with an electric stove can not boil it. Most of the cell phone owners are recharging at hospitals. The shops were partially destroyed and vandalized. the few shops that are selling food are sorrounded by a desperate crowd.
The State has asked for international help. A Canadian - Cuban website
is allowing people abroad to buy supplies online to be given to their
relatives or friends here.
I am one of the few people with a working phone line at present.
I have seen some of my colleagues on the street, and many other people
as well, everyone is on the streets looking for whatever they can get.
I am writing from Casagranda Hotel, but the ticket is expensive, I
will not be able to afford coming here again. My phone number is
(...) in case y ou want more news or need to find out about
someone (given the present circumstances I cannot promise that I will
find the person or persons) When the communication is fixed I will be
in touch again.
Désolant...
