Hurricane Irene Update?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hi all -

Saw on the news this morning about Hurricane Irene and that in a post online: http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/hurricanes/story/2011/08/Hurricane-Irene-slams-Puerto-Rico/50085074/1

Midway through the story it said 150 people were evacuated from Vieques and Culebra (my guess is that more where from Vieques?)

Just wanted to check in and see if everyone was OK and how Culebra was doing after the storm.

I hope there was no damage or injury and that life is returning to normal in my most favorite place on Earth. :-)

Hope all is well - dreaming of my 6th trip to the island sometime soon.

I suspect there are power outages on Culebra. I heard today there was still lots of rain in SJ.

Just read the following in MJ's blog. She is in California on vacation but this is what she posted.
Happy to report that aside from power outages, downed limbs and a report that three boats broke loose (I don't know details) and the ferry schedule being skewed up, Culebra is on her feet and clean up is underway.

Thanks for the update! I got so caught up in the earthquake that happened here today I almost forgot about Culebra! I'll take a hurricane over an earthquake anyday!

Good morning,
Lots of wind/rain here & the outter bands are still causing rain/dark skies.

Cell service is spotty. Landlines down.

Water & power have been on & off. Yah for cisterns & generators.

Cleanup has happened & Culebra is back on her feet just waiting for the sun to return.

Sending good thoughts North to the Bahamas!

Best,
Terrie

I believe South Carolina is going to bear the brunt of Irene. I heard the downed power poles in Vieques was the cause of the loss of power on Culebra. And the earthquake only lasted 45 seconds a lot quicker than a cane.

Do I have the chose between the two? Isn't there a third alternative, like "None of the above?
