$4billion US in 1988! Not a leaf to be seen on any of the trees.
Don't need no stinkin' Wiki for Gilbert, I was staying on the Negril beach at the time! It was worse than anything I have ever read about it. I don't remember seeing any trees that were still upright. Leaves were everywhere, except on the trees. And it happened in mid September, not October.

October is technically our rainiest month, but I have seen some Octobers with minimal rain. And I've seen about 30 full Octobers...
