As was requested.
Saba did very well during the passing of Gonzalo, nothing major .
apart from the foliage taking some hits and some gusty winds (highest recorded was 62 mph).
The population were advised in advance and took the necessary precautions.
At my location I received 1 inch of rain.
Government closed down all departments before the storm so the workers could protect life and property.
Airport was also closed and will re open Wednesday at the usual time.
Fisherman, divers and boat owners secured their boats and those who were unable to take out their boats here sought refuge on St Maarten which by the way had winds in excess of 95 mph.

Stay safe
