What a good idea that I would not have thought of. Thank you!

Some of the storm scenes in Jurassic Park are from a real hurricane that made landfall in the last day or so before they were scheduled to leave Hawaii. The site below is the best online resource I could find and it leaves out a lot of critical details (that I remember from a show on The Weather Channel). IIRC, one person (probably the person referred to below as Kennedy) got out of Hawaii via space available with the military and then airlifted supplies in to give relief to the Hawaiian people, in part so they could get the cast and crew out who otherwise would have been stranded there for god-knows-how-long. There were no commercial flights in or out and no permission to do anything of the sort. The plane was only allowed to land because it carried relief supplies. Once empty, it was okay to fill it back up and fly home. There were a number of ways in which the film crew provided relief locally (to the hotel they stayed in and surrounding areas) while still on the ground because of the expertise and equipment they had. It's really a very inspiring story which I think should get more press. So just keep trying. You don't know what you can do until you try. Best of luck. http://www.lost-world.com/Lost_World02/Jurassic_Park.Site/Production.html http://www.lost-world.com/Lost_World02/Jurassic_Park.Site/Pr... Kennedy jogged two miles to the airport to explore their options. "The destruction in the airport was unbelievable," she recalls. "All the windows were blown out in the terminals, and the buildings were full of palms, trees, sand and water. Every single helicopter had been tipped on its side." Thanks to her relentless efforts among airport and military personnel in Lihue, Kennedy was able to hitch a ride to Honolulu on a Salvation Army plane and began organizing from a pay phone. Over the next 24 hours, she not only coordinated the safe return of the company, but also arranged for more than 20,000 pounds of relief supplies to be transported from Honolulu and Los Angeles into Kauai.
