Just up the antillean chain (Saba) thinking about you all on St Lucia. How are things after the hurricane hit?

Stay safe.

Thanks for the concern - we're all doing fine here. We all ended up staying at school overnight and waiting out the storm. The portion of St. Lucia where we are at (Vieux Fort - in the southern tip) didn't get hit as bad as the northern tip of the island. We had a lot of rain and some pretty high gusts of wind, but other than that we held out pretty well. Electricity has been going in and out - but hey, I guess thats to be expected. All in all - I think things went pretty well.

The aftermath was worse than the storm itself, a slow island just somehow became slower...

I'll let M.S. know you said hi when I get to Dallas next week...
