Read somewhere it is the lull before the storm. What level is the threat in terms of precautions you are taking? Everyone, please take are of you!

we appreciate your caring and asking!

go to [www.vitema.gov] as this is where all alerts are posted.

at this time we are expecting a tropical storm to pass to our south, but it will become a hurricane while going on its way. we pray for haiti and our family and friends in florida, and hope that all in the leeward isles will be safe, warm and dry... and that isaac deflates somehow and gives us all the rain we desire with none of the fuss.

best to you,
anita.

Thank you for the link. I keep the live webcam at Sapphire Beach on my desktop and consult it every day (I am a hopeless lover of St. Thomas!) -- this morning it looks windy but dry for now there. Stay safe!
