I like a good party as much as the next person but I think that the emergency personnel need to get in - it will take days for the Red Cross and electrical workers, etc to get in and established. They need to get in to do their job and tourists need to stay out of the way.

So what if the FQ has electricity....there won't be potable water for a while.

Sorry if I sound negative - just seeing the massive damage and peoples houses under water (or on fire) makes me want to stay away and let them try to get out of this.

I agree with a previous poster - a donation to the Red Cross would mean more than me buying a few drinks.
