USVI-On-Line

Earlier today we saw The Pirate Ship of Frank Bay sunset fame sailing across Hart Bay to safety in Hurrucane Hole. You can barely see it in the photo.



This was looking east at the gathering storm clouds beyond Chocolate Hole East and Virgin Grand Estates. That's Earl. He's out there.


In an effort to stave off or at least postpone my traditional Pre-Hurricane Full-On Anxiety Attack, I am thinking that maybe it's a good thing to get the Hurricane Test out of the way immediately on a brand new house. That way you don't have to wonder about it.

I'll let you all know how that works out. Thanks for all the good wishes.
Everyone in the path of Earl, stay safe.

- Ruth

all the best Ruth! thinking of you guys!

You are all in our prayers, and will remain so until we hear you're all safe and dry.

Hey there Ruth & friends on island, as well as forum family members there,-
Be Safe! I can't help but worry...
Our best wishes & hopes that it'll blow over/past y'all are with you!
Keep us updated.
Smiles-
MJ

Waiting and watching with you... in spirit and in thought.

Ruth - ya'll are in my thoughts - please stay safe and keep us posted. We will be praying for you!

I have an uncle who's name happened to be Earl...he was affectionately known as Uncle Buddy...may he be looking down upon all of you, keeping you in his hugely benevolent arms... be safe and take care.

Stay Safe! Thinking of you and everyone on island

Ruth - Knowing how much care and work Ron and you put into your new house, I am certain it will survive Earl. Take care and stay safe. We are thinking of you.

Thinking of you Ruth. ((((hugs)))) and prayers!

Based on the construction Ron described to me and what I saw, the Shed should be safe. But, I would be interested in seeing what the pool is like after all the rain you should get.

Stay safe.

Stay safe!!

With everyone thinking of our St John friends, the SpiceCam may get it's 3 millionth view tomorrow!

Be safe

All the best R&R... Can't wait to hear the news that Earl has passed safely to the north!

it's been awhile since I had a chance to read much less reply to anything on this forum. Hadn't realized you'd built a house in the interim, Ruth! FAST for island time or else I've been away a LOT longer than I though!!

Anyway, as soon as I heard about Earl, I've been glued to my computer watching the weather sites and all related forums. We're due to come down there towards the end of September--sure hope our villa we're staying at makes it through ok!

BUT mostly hope that all the lovely people I've been privileged to meet & get to know a bit on what I think is one of the most special places on this earth, come through all this safe and sound.

I am definitely PRAYING for everyone & everything on St. John. You've heard the phrase "praying up a storm?" Wel, I'm not doing that, instead I'm "praying DOWN AND AWAY a storm"
