Hurricane Hugo...20 years ago!

20 years ago Hurricane Hugo almost blew Guadeloupe away.
This milestone in the life of most Guadeloupean adults is remembered today. As a matter of fact, most people around 70 or 80 years old now remember this hurricane as the worst catastrophe ever experienced.
One thing 'positive' (should I use the term positive) about Hugo is that since the notorious dates of Sept. 15 and 16 1989, Guadeloupean people have started building their houses in a safer way.
