This is what I wrote here just over 2 years ago when the 23rd anniversary was the topic of the day:
"I was staying on the beach at the Native Sun Villas (now the Sea Sand Eco Villas) when Gilbert passed overhead. There are really no words I have ever been able to come up with to properly describe that hurricane - to say I was frightened would be an understatement!
But the reaction of the Jamaican people after Gilbert was the single most important reason why I made the decision to live in Jamaica. And my decision to move here has been backed up by the folks I run into everyday - their resourcefulness is still a daily inspiration for me!"
