Wow, is that little dock coming apart? or was it like that before?

That's new damage. It wasn't like that at 7 am.

Whoa. That thing's taking a beating.

Definitely not like that before. Also, I think there were a couple more dinghies connected to it.

There were several planks missing out of that dock, but it wasn't THAT bad! Ohhhh, this doesn't bode well.

Oh no

It looks like one dinghy is missing, not looking good. But the forecast pushes the eye farther North right now, hope so

It looks like Earl's going to graze past you guys, too, Jan!

It updated again. Power must be coming and going.

Wow, it just keeps looking worse. I hope it hurries out of there!

This just in from Stormcarib:

Report from STJ -- power out for most of the island
By crabbys at earthlink.net
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:30:12 -0400 (EDT)

I am in the states, but have had contact, by phone, from East End, Hurricane
Hole, Gifft Hill and the Bordeaux area (outside of Coral Bay) of St. John, USVI.

As of 10:30 a.m., all of the people I spoke with in those areas are without
power. East End went first around 7 a.m. followed by Zootenvaal (Hurricane
Hole), then Gifft Hill and the Bordeaux area around 10 to 10:30 a.m. Reports
are wind gusts in the 60 knot range, and a lot of waiting.

Hardlines are still working, but most folks have lost internet. Several people
involved with amateur radio and the local ham weather net have asked for storm
position updates from the National Hurricane Center, if I can continue to get a
call through; those are issued every three hours. If I am able to make
additional contact through the day, I will share any on-the-ground condition
reports.

John and Val in Cruz Bay -- good luck to you. To the folks and animals on St.
John and all the other islands, may God bless you, and may Earl be kind.
