Been closely watching live reports for the past seven hours or so. Took note when the STX live cam went down and when forum posts seemed to cease. Best wishes to everyone!
Still wish I was there instead of here. Hope everyone is okay.
That was a crazy storm,, I'm on the south west end of the island and it looks like hugo... there are tree's with bark that was stripped off the winds were so strong.
Hope everyone made it safe, us and the horses made it fine (just some damage to the house, and almost every tree knocked down)....
