After numerous near hits, Jamaicans had become desensitized to
hurricanes and as Gilbert approached, the author was not alone in
that sea of denial. Unlike other hurricanes, Gilbert signaled its
intent from its inception, and it did not alter course, but
strengthened dramatically, as it headed straight for Jamaica. The
book describes the chaotic rush for supplies, the suspension of
normal daily activities, media coverage, the desertion of cities
and favorite hangouts, and more wrenching; a supernatural encounter
that served to confirm the worst. It depicts split-second scenes of
environmental transformation and thrill, even in disaster. There
was that intermittent hope of survival that had to be altered as
often as the house absorbed successive, vicious jolts. There were
the sounds that could not be analyzed, but some of which were even
hauntingly melodious. Never to be forgotten were those feelings of
loneliness and isolation, the looks of fear and the signs of
sinners praying, presumably from the heart. Gratitude for survival
could not outweigh the feelings of anger and dejection at the
monumental loss.
