Bvigal hasn't been on the site since 1:34pm Monday. Hopefully it's just an extended power outage and we hear from her soon.

Re: Reports frm Friends in the Islands affected by Earl&Fiona
Hey, Gretchen! Long time no hear!!
I'm fine, just not home yet and been very busy with aftermath here, and tired and lost internet a couple of times! Heck my mother only heard from me at early Monday, then at 7 last night, and the connection was lost so skype cut off the call abruptly. The total exhaustion of several days with little sleep set in as soon as the storm passed, and I did a lot of sleeping!
Posted on the caribbean wx thread about my place, roads, trees. Some pics at http://www.bvimusic.com
It was yesterday late before I heard any real good news about Anegada, nobody hurt, no massive damage to structures. My conclusion is, the reef which extends out up to 15 miles actually helps, not hurts, so they weren't all drowned (island is very flat) but had some good wash well inland. All docks but the concrete govt dock gone. Most or all boats there were sunk or broke loose. At 850ft looking down to Cane Garden Bay, I couldn't believe the seas. The surf break had to have 25ft waves coming in. The entire bay, usually protected by the reef, was dirty brown, and it wasn't from rain wash, it was from wave action. I took some pics, but they just don't show what my eyes could see through the salt haze!

so glad to see you check in. We had all been wondering about you. Looked at your pictures, wow! Looks like the concrete block structures did ok, but the boats, etc. didn't fair as well. Thanks for posting.

yeah, I think that is the most we have seen of anywhere hit. I know msbee posted a few, but that has been about it. I hope all the other islands have survived as well.
