There are thousands of people missing in the Bahamas. The reports that are starting to come through are horrific.
I think its only a matter of time until an American LHD - with all the vertical lift, water purification, recovery and medical facilities that it can bring to bear will be deployed there.
Prayers up.
Maybe the LHD should have already been there.
Maybe it would have been if the Democrats did not have 15 gazillion investigations and other harassments and distractions.
