If that happens it would be the worst scenario for floridians as that state would have to deal with an invasion.

I heard about this on the news last night. They said any boats arriving in Florida will be turned away and sent back immediately. I still remember 20-some odd years ago when AIDS was first in the news. They kept mentioning the 4-H's - homosexuals, hemophiliacs, heroin addicts, and Haitians - were at highest risk. "Boat people" I guess that term is going to be in the news again now. I'm going to start having flashbacks to my preppy years. :o

And here in Puerto Rico the coast guard is watching just in case many of them go east instead of west.
