yea, I was looking at that same info last night.
the thing that is different..so far at least.. is that Omar is not as strong as Lenny and so far will be a little further away from us....we hope
we'll see. the thing about Lenny was that it was a rain maker for SXM and caused some serious flooding, as well as more damage to the west facing shores.

yea, my dear, you keep talking about the "other side" LOL

I remember being stuck in Boston with friends when Luis was approaching. I was going nuts. MY friend said don't worry. The french side will get it worse, it's passing more north.
nroth.
I looked at him like he was crazy.. had he seen the size of the thing..obviously it would cover the whole island and it did...
remember, Philippe, the "other side" ain't that far away from you eye popping smiley
we be a small island

Take care both of you, your families, and your little loved ones. If you need additional shelter for any reason, let me know.

I know I know Barbara winking smiley I always stupidly try to make a joke about that ... the problem is that I am alway over confident and over positive about this, and most of the time I am proved wrong LOL... I guess it must be my unconscient reaction to cover up my fear.
I am not sure if we are going to board up or not.. maybe I should, since I am "ocean front" even though the winds should hit more on the other side of the island (here I go again...LOL)!!! See how I am confusing myself?...confused smileyeye rolling smiley

Kind Regards,
Philippe

it is gonna be worse on the south and west sides..I do agree,
Dee just decided to move his boat which is anchored in the lagoon.
I still don't know if we are boarding up.
decisions decisions decisions..
did you see that Vicki told us to let her know if we needed shelter?
is she inviting us to NJ? LOL

Hey!

From what I gather most of the boats in Great Bay/Harbour are moving into the lagoon. If it hits from the South it will impact many areas as the winds do circulate. It would be interesting to know what they are doing with the boats at Marina Ft. Louis...possibly moving them into the lagoon through Marigot as well?

I would guess so denis.
that is usually what they d.
you don't want to have your boat anywhere facing west or south. Oh, I can see the sand coming up over the boardwalk in philispburg now.

Vicki.. I never though of your condo confused smiley
I'm gonna stay on my side of the hill. LOL

Busy here closing down the Restaurant and the Marina....angry smiley and taking care of the guest who will be stocked in their room tonight with pre-prepared meals and beverages baskets... But someone is making me crazy right now running all over the place, stressing etc....angry smiley Everything under control so far, and I don't think I will board up, since after calculation, the winds will be coming from the otherside eye rolling smiley and not from front of my house which shouldn't affected too much. All right! I am still trying to stay positive...smoking smiley

Kind Regards,
Philippe
