- Hurry Away Erin

I am hailing from the eastern side of New Providence. Thankfully effects from Erin have been minimal to date in this area. There is a bit of cooling wind, with sunny skies. This was for us a trial run with respect to readiness. Let us pray that the passage of Erin causes minimum damage and that there are no lives lost. 

Erin's rapid intensification is a reminder that readiness is important.  Two potential contenders to be the next storm are already trailing Erin. We must remain alert.

Good Night All,

Beautiful day today. Really can’t tell Erin is nearby.

Spotty lite rain throughout the day, and super windy. (The national flag 
carrier was not able to land on the island today, because of the powerful 
winds).

The sea is extremely rough on both sides of the island.

Praying Erin passes with little to no incident.

Esther

Good Day Everyone, I am posting from the island of New Providence  (  where Nassau city is located). So far, its a lovely day.  We have been following the local and international reports regarding Erin. Some folks , including my family ,have begun preparation - shopping for supplies, shelters, securing documents. Work continues as usual for now as we watch Erin churn across the waters. I pray that all are safe as she passes through. We must remain ready .
