Hi Gert,
Here on Eleuthera we have been very lucky so far this season but it looks like Rita is making her presents felt. Wind gradually picked up Sunday afternoon and by about 10pm last night a pretty steady 30 - 35 mph wind with some higher gusts. The seas on both sides of the island have been rough and choppy all day Sunday.
It's 5:30 AM Monday, winds havent picked up too much since last night, a few light squalls and a little thunder and lightening is what's got me up before the crack of dawn, (and the roosters). But I expect because of the full moon and an exceptionally high tide today around noon that the seas may be up into the roads in the lower lying areas of Eleuthera. Will keep you posted, but so far so good, we still have electricty! And the air temp is considerably cooler.
PS See pix, Spotted this yesterday!
