Here’s a quick update for those of you who’ve been following Hurricane Erin.
Hurricane Erin passed to the north of St. John. We were extremely lucky. It did bring lots of rain, and there were some pretty good wind gusts overnight and this morning. The island lost power, but it is slowly starting to come back on this morning.
There was some flooding around the island, especially near the tennis courts in Cruz Bay, which happens after a good rain. There are some reports of mud and rock slides around the island too.
Numerous flights were cancelled this morning, which means many flights out of St. Thomas will inevitably be cancelled too.
The passenger ferry is operating normally. Businesses are open too.
Again, we were extremely lucky with this one. Thank you all for reading.
