Irma Be, Or Rock you like a Hurricane!

Welcome Back dear readers to the first real installment of Vet school blog life, since last term. last week does not count since it was so short, so lets jump right in and start with the thing that is on everyone's minds. Hurricane's they are big slow ocean tornadoes that can level a city by storm surge alone, city's inland and bigger then most Caribbean islands. So understand that even though Irma is forecast to miss Grenada by probably 100 miles give or take that we are still all watching it and expecting to get hit by winds, rain, and surge. However we will all be fine and at most minor flooding and property damage on the fair (east) side of the island. I will be praying for everyone who is in the direct path of this very powerfully storm, but this does bring up a very good point of Caribbean Vet school which ever parent ask (Is It Safe?) short answer Maybe, long answer YES/and NO. You see it is a hard question to answer as it is really just as safe as every where else, it's more of a question of what is going to cause you harm, here its hurricane's, rabies infected animals, disease riddled mosquito's, and the parental of the mountain exploding because it is after all a volcano. On the other hand there is no snow and most days stay around the high 80's with a breeze, now if i compare this to the time i spent at UTK which has a vet school, then i can say that i feel just as safe here as there.
So there you have Readers nothing is safe and volcano's are everywhere, till next week try and stay safe out there in this crazy world, TTFN
