Bnewb, Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know there was an abundance of generators in Negril but I guess considering the frequency of tropical storms in JA people have gotten themselves in a ready for anything position.

I have had a great deal of luck with the Champion brand of generators, a very reliable and inexpensive line. In my home with have a freezer that my wife stocks with frozen foods especially meats that if we lose power for more than a few hours would mean losing upward of a $1,000 bucks. I am sure anybody in Negril losing power without a generator would be faced with similar problems especially a small hotel or a guest house or a private residence.

During Hurricane Sandy the East Coast of the US around New Jersey and Long Island, NYC got hit really bad.

I have no idea if and when MoBay airport will reopen if you get hit hard. Reports here are unclear about whether Jamaica is going to be hit really bad so perhaps nobody loses power. If things turn ugly Miami will most likely be a target too so getting supplies from there will be unlikely.

Not knowing if the airlines that service JA from the NYC area would be willing to help getting generators down would be their call. My time would be volunteer so I am not looking to do anything but help.
