Just spoke with the family in Marsh Harbour, Abaco, and while there is loss of shingles and a now leak in the roof, so far, so good.
They still have a few hours to grin and bear it, so we're thinking all good thoughts for the people of Abaco.
Have not heard from family and friends on Eleuthera and the surrounding islands but have heard no reports of loss of life.
Of course the people of Cat Island seem to have taken the brunt of yet another storm. As a friend pointed out, they are strong people and will bounce back. Let's hope it will will quick and easy for them to do so.
If there is a plus at the moment it's the wind speed has dropped to 80 mph. But, (there is always a but) it's now only moving at 6 mph.
We were lucky here at our house. Trees down in the road that we cleaned up already (pushed them on the side) and the highest gust we clocked was 40 mph.
Here's to our friends, family and visitors all over the country.
