Hi Folks !
Well the power just went out once again , hence had to turn on the Genset .
It's now raining cats and dogs and the wind is howling and blowing quite hard.
Still can't go outside as yet , but from my view Andrea , Beacon Hill looks okay for now. Will check in back later.

Earl it has been worse than everybody thought, expect some damages. Nothing close to Luis or Lenny, but do expect some damages.

Well folks , the night has descended upon us , and the winds are gone but still rain. Thanks to GEBE power is on in our area . Andrea , I had chance to drive through the area and just a few trees are downed. No flooding this time around.
Haven't been able to venture out to the other areas due to the curfew. However from the radio reports the Island faired well. Thanks to better construction rules and codes.
Next is Fiona.

Thanks so much for the update, Leslie, I also heard from our neighbors who talked to their tenant. They said there wasn't "too much damage, high waves, as usual w/ hurricanes in our area, and some water under the door." Of course, they didn't say anything about us. But, I'm hoping (praying) that they would have if it was bad.

As far as Fiona, from what I understand the experts are predicting that she will be eaten by Earl and not become anything more than a TS. Hopefully, they are right on this one.

Glad you are ok, Leslie. I greatly appreciate the information you provided. Hope tomorrow is a nice day for everyone.
