Hitman, do yourself a big favor and shut the fuck up.
We recently heard from my parents (they still have a little battery life left on their phone) and the situation down there is extremely dire as a result of the hurricane, the prison break and looting. Local law enforcement hasn't been able to do much of anything. I was able to get in touch with Overseas Citizens Services (1-888-407-4747) and they said they are going to start evacuating people from Grenada to Port of Spain in Trinidad beginning tomorrow (Saturday). Problem is, people who want to evacuate have to make it to Point Salines and I have no way of getting in touch with my parents or the other people they're stranded with, nor do I know where Point Salines is in relation to where their boat is.
Currently, they've been locking themselves in their boat along with some other people who are stranded on boats that are practically piled up upon each other. Everybody there is everybody is really worried. There's now reports of looters with machine guns, and since the most advanced weaponry my parents and the other stranded boaters with them have is a couple of spear-guns, they really need to get out of there or have some military assistance pronto.
