Hi Gert, sorry i took so long to reply but i was busy and did not read my 
mail. Anyway i still thought i would let you know that all is well here in 
Barbados.Joyce decided to keep going south of the island and eventually 
weakened so all we got were a few gusty winds and some rain,but no damage 
done.I guess you would have received other reports already but i still 
wanted to let you know that i am still very much interested in your work and 
it is a very good job you're doing.

        So i will be monitoring your site to see what is happening and i 
will keep in touch.



Regards,
Hallam.

Moyna,

The system veered off of Barbados and we got some gusty winds, about 40 mph,
which are neglible in the scheme of things, and scattered showers. It was
not big deal.

Barbados was on a storm watch on Saturday morning but it was never upgraded
to a full alert because there was no threat. However, because it occured at
the weekend when most businesses and government offices were not opened,
they took the opportunity to dismantled computers, store equipment etc etc
so they wouldn't have to return to office to do that in the event that a
strike was imminent.

In short, we have a lovely, cool, Sunday.

Rgds/
Terry

Well if the supermarkets are any indication, then people in Barbados are 
definitely aware of Joyce's impending visit. Could not get a spot in the 
car park this morning! The sound of hammering is echoing around here as 
well. For us who are not used to tropical storm threats, these are all 
positive signs! It's cloudy but very sunny right now (beach weather for 
me!). We shall wait and see.....

	Even though we are now on a tropical storm watch, from 5.00 am this
morning, it seems that the general opinion is that it will miss us. Most
business places that I saw yesterday had prepared by boarding up the windows
etc.

	At the moment the weather is cloudy with some showers. We have done the
shopping and checked the generator and will spend to-day cleaning up outside
the house, trimming trees etc.

	Now we wait for the next advisory.
