Hi,

Most people on Aruba will say  at last.
Last night we had thunder and lightning and, at least at Paradera, a lot of water.
We needed it, for the island was dry and dusty so I wonder what the rest will be.

It is still quiet on the Atlantic and it better keeps like that.

Keep you informed till next time

Roy
