Its is raining heavy, strong winds, from the wrong direction (our houses are not build to these conditions.)
Water comes in everywhere,
Just mopping and mopping.

the island is out and about at 4 PM. Lisa Gas had massive lines. I drove South past Pink Beach. Lot's of beach rubble in the street. I would say all will be well for diving in a few days. Town is lively and happening with folks exploring and shopping.

According to Windguru

an easterly normal wind pattern should resume late Friday.

The wind pattern is less than normal ... I would call that no wind at all ... normal is wind of at least 10 knots

Steve... see the link Boat Chick posted above.

The south pier and timeshare pier are gone. The tanning pier is fine. The beach is piled with rubble but I heard Divi staff talking about starting to clean it tomorrow.

The dive pier is there and seems sound but the lockers are gone. Condo (timeshare) rooms should be fine. People were in and around them today as normal (sitting at the pool, etc).

One of the dive boats is gone.

I posted several pics in the thread linked above.
