You were far south enough to miss it, weren't you?

Oh..well..this is what I read :
"BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - There are reports that at least 12 people were
killed and 90 per cent of all homes in Grenada have been destroyed by"
And the latest reports coming out of Grenada,
" He said at least 90 per cent of the houses and businesses in his area
had been totally or partially destroyed "
"Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the Grenadian reported that
almost 90 per cent of all the houses and businesses in the capital city
had been destroyed and businesses such as Bryden and Minors was cleaned
out by looters. "
These are now from local news sources, people on the ground in Grenada
etc. The quote about 90 percent destroyed came from an interview the
Grenadian prime minister had aboard the British rescue ship which sped
to assist Grenada.
Looting is rampant in the capital and elsewhere, and there just aren't
enough police or relief workers to deal with the total situation at the
moment. It all happened much too quickly.

I read that 90% of houses were _damaged_, not destroyed.
Big difference, there.
