Does anyone have a copy of the video (VHS) that was available on island following Hurricane Luis? The Towers used to have it available for check-out and watching in your room until they felt it was in appropriate.

It's not the one I've found reproduced on YouTube by tripcaldan (?) at least I don't think it is. I remember the one I watched had a lot of footage of the boats in the lagoon during the storm.....how they bashed into each other.

I recall watching it in 1996 and just sat there crying. Such loss to the island. Mullet destruction.
The rebuilding of the island and the resiliency it's people touches my heart.

I might have one, but not exactly sure where it is. When I get back into town, I'll search for it.

There was one taken from the French side and one from the Dutch side. Which one?

I believe the one I recall (or perhaps I've mixed up pieces of several) showed or talked about the bridges being open and long lines of boats pouring into the lagoon. Boats hitting each other as the winds increased. Scenes from along the roads after. Not sure Dutch side or French side, sorry. May have had both.
I don't think it's one I've found on YouTube.

It is on YouTube search for "The Remake of an Island" a Jan Roosens Film

Thanks for the suggestion Jean. While they are certainly interesting, and number 1 is heart wrenching, Jan Roosens isn't the video I'm thinking of. These seem much like a travel advertisement in parts....and certainly for Oyster Bay...

The one I'm searching for did show pre-storm, and boats pouring in through the open drawbridge....just one after another...which we now know they were being led to slaughter.

WWII....did you find yours?

Totally forgot. I've got a few places to look. I'm out of town for a few days, but I'm back on the case. If I find it, I'll have a few copies put on DVD. I'll be at the Towers in March, so I'll leave one there if I get it done. I'll let you know.

WWII,

Would you possibly consider leaving two? I don't think I've seen this and would certainly love to.

Either way, TY in advance.

Respectfully,

WWII....I would love to give you my contact info, and get yours as well. I will send you a DVD, and cover the costs of mailing.

Ideally I would love to get a copy of this before next year...lol! In fact, I'm heading down in 36 days.

Thank you. I know that Pat and I would both appreciate it. I would be happy to coordinate for both of us.

I've started the search, no luck yet.
