Not on the island but local government has reported there are no casualties as 
of 330 PM. Those with power that I've contacted have generators. 

Seems like storm is out of the area 

Thank God the worst has passed

we are all prepared for Irma and what she has install for us.

people and residents are and have taken the necessary precautions and we are now awaiting the arrival of Irma.

This is going to be a devastating blow to this 5 square mile Island and our surrounding neighbors.

All houses and businesses are secured to the best of their ability and we have nothing to do but ride out the system.

All fishing vessels have either been hauled out at the Fort Bay or sought refuge on St Maarten.

I will report during or after the Hurricane

Not on the island currently but I know the local government has ordered a 
curfew from 10 PM tonight until Thursday morning. 

Airport closed yesterday. 

Our hearts and prayers are with you in the north eastern Caribbean. 

May God bless you all and keep you safe 

Mark
