Hello Everyone,
Like the rest of the islands, we have been busy
cleaning up the damage. Electricity was restored to most of the island Thursday
morning. The big waves were the cause for the worst damage on the island. Our
dive shop had damage on the seaside but at least it is all fixable. Our boat was
on land behind the harbour in place we thought would be safe. It appears it was
moved about 30feet. We could not get to the boat because the entire area was
covered with boulders.Our small ro ro pier was damaged as was the dive
shop next to it. All boats were pulled but it appears at least one fishing
boat was destroyed. All the beach was taken away as it was in Lenny. I feel that
Omar caused more wave damage then Lenny on Statia. We received 6 inches of rain
from Wednesday morning to Thursday morning and almost four inches between
Saturday and Wednesday. It has been raining off and on all day today. I am
still glad I live in Paradise!!!!
I will try and send some pictures
tomorrow.
All the best to everyone and hoping this is the
last for the season.
Rinda
