Just got an email from Ruth.
They do not have power but are doing well
They stayed at the Grateful Shed and they built a solid house, so they had no problems. They headed to Frank Bay to use the generator for coffee and battery charging.

I'm happy the house is OK. It seemed nice and sturdy when we visited. Good to hear that they're OK.
How's the rest of the island?

Capt John posted a few pics of Cruz Bay, trees and such down.
I heard that Tortola and Anegada got slammed

That is good news for Ruth and Ron.
I saw something on the weather channel that showed footage of The "West resort" in St. John's, Great Cruz bay.
It looked windy but not that horrible.
I hope everyone is safe.

I was just reading some updates on TTOL from the BVIs. Apparently all boats at Soper's Hole have sunk, cars have been washed into the sea and Bomba's is gone. So devastating.
