Took good samaritans to fix something dangerous instead of the government.

All the guard rails along the jump up route around the causeway roundabout and along to Simpson Bay were heavily damaged. They say car accident, I call BS. Morning after jump up it was a mess.

Didn't think of it that way. Could be right.

Used a lot of ropes and boards in a way I never would have thought of. Wonder how many Caribs that took. LOL

When we were there we saw boats almost into the road. One was being moved by a crane. Maybe that caused the damage?

The boats have been there since Irma. The day after the causeway jump up suddenly the railing was mashed up.
