hello all
it is 8 pm st thomas
pouring rain not much wind now but earlier gusts to 40 or 50 knts
just having the pleasure or adventure of traveling from st john a mere
4 miles from st thomas at about
3 pm we were caught in the middle of the worst of it
the ferry ride is usualy very pleasent what a suprise or not... knowing
full well a wave was upon us
we had to return home to st thomas seas were 6-8ft
rain biting and wind pushing smaller craft off course
several passengers had life
jackets
in hand every one else were crouched under garbage bags
literaly soaked to the bone we reached stt shivering
drenching rain on st john before boarding
arrived home to no power
wind or surge had torn wire loose from transformer
wapa was here within an hour
still pouring..thunder and lightning cistern overflowing we need it
awoke to beatiful doulble rainbow this morn
but this looks like it will last afew more hours
the worst is yet to reach
but this is a baby by our standards
huck
