the cyclone pam. bill weier joining us now from new york. so bill you know while you were there, you know, how in your estimation would people there be able to handle this kind of devastation? they already expressed concern about rising water but this is something very different? >> it absolutely is fred. it casts the whole hour we did there in a completely different light. what drew me to the place was the romance, the paras dice the sun kissed sugar sand beaches the fish all they could eat and all of that but very different when you think about riding out a category 5 storm in essentially a thatched hut. this is up in molta lava in the north. folks trying embrace tourism. give you a sense of where they're starting from they just got their first cement floor at the place we stayed. the owner poured all of his savings into it not realizing most westerners don't want to see concrete on vacation. told him to put sand over it.
