No...I'm not shouting. I just copied and pasted from the NHC e-mail. Couldn't bother to retype in lower case
<font color="green">Statia and all you Northern Leeward islanders, stay safe.</font>

...and here I was praying that August and September would be like June and July! Hurricane free!
As you said, Statia...it's not a hurricane. Hopefully Chris will change his mind about this Caribbean trip!

Awww..thanks y'all. I'll try to post tomorrow as soon as I can...if I have power that is.
I am trying to get out of the office so that I can take care of things at home, but I have to get updates out about all my ships shutting down and anchoring for the storm. They've even ceased all local flights already because the WinAir planes have to get back to the hangers at SXM.
I hope it's not a a long one, but the last update said it's strengthening. At least it's just a TS, though.

marigross, glad to hear that you are not having any ill effects in PR. It passed just east of us here so we only had a little wind and rain. Now I just hope the rest of the season pans out so well in our area.
And, I also hope this one doesn't strengthen too much more and head to the US.

Nice shot, Carrybean! Don't you just love those creepy looking skies once in awhile? Just as long as you know the weather won't get too bad, that is.
I showed your pic to my DH and we both noted that we had the same sort of sky earlier. Strange considering we are quite a bit farther south.

You may have posted it before, but what island do you live on? At least I think you live in the Caribbean. Great picture. Sky looks ominous. I glad that things are not too bad there for all.

Thanks Brett, that is what I was thinking too from the depths of my cranium. Hope all is well with the girls. Would LOVE to see more pics if you have time to send my way. Have one of all of you together?

I'm a she & on St. Thomas. 
From the latest email it's weakening so if that continues (I hope) nobody will have any more to deal with than just a little wind & rain.
Statia, glad it wasn't bad on your little island either.
