What a blast off for the last day of October.  And after a very quiet latter part of August including September and October till this morning at 4 a.m.  East North East winds 25 -35 miles per hour, if not stronger at times, heavy thunder and lightning storm.  As I post its quiet, wind has died down with just a light rain.   Weather wise I hope this is it for the next month. What a blessing we have been free of anything since Ernesto middle of August.   The rains was very much needed. Trust all the neighbouring Islands and the folks have been also blessed with some much needed rain.  I,d say we probably had 2 inches maybe more, and its not done yet.Keep safe with blessings.

All day until just before 2 pm we had a  brisk north east wind and all of a sudden it started very strong from the South.   for 15 minutes we had  60 miles [per hour winds. limbs and leaves flying. with torrential rain..  In the  past hour we have still gotten some very strong gusts, how ever now at 3.30 p,m.  it has eased up and the rain stopped.  No thunder or lightning. Thank theLord..  Everybody keep safe.  I did have a wooden shutter pop open and had to get out and secure it a 4 inch nail.  Doing good after.

Goodmorning.  Pretty quiet out side. No rain what so ever as yet.  Wind from the North East at 24 miles per hour. There has been a gust of 31 mph earlier.  Not anything much happening now at 1.50 a. m.  Lets  see what happens in the next 6 hours. The breeze seems kind of strange and weird outside. Hoping it will stay relatively quiet and everybody can be spared.  As the day progresses   I will update.Stay safe.

- quiet July ending with a change.

Its been a very quiet month with some brief passing showsers. This afternoon at 3 p. m. we got part of the strong tropical wave  passing.  We received 2 and a half inches of rain with a thunder storm, which was fairly strong. The wind was  light at 13-14 miles per hour.  Nice solid rain  which was good for the cisterns and for  keeping the island green.  We are fast approaching the  peak of hurricane season 2024. Hoping that there will not be any thing like Berryl,   May we all be blessed with safety in the following months.
