That Tropical Storm with a bit of a punch up here in Pilon has moved on.  Lots of vegetative debris, some trees down but thankfully our structures are safe.  Esperanza Bay looks like a chocolate milk shake in a blender, the tops of some trees snapped off and we have a couple of new ponds where the rains settled.  I think the entire island kept reminding themselves this is not Maria.  When I was listening to the wind last night I kept hearing this one tree frog trill.  It was a comfort since during Maria there was only the white noise of air swirling.  Tonight that one tree frog has joined the nighttime chorus of frogs and crickets and the thrum of generators since we are without power.  All is good on the Isla Nena.  Our thoughts are with Bermuda and Ernesto races to his next important date.
