Anyone know how St Lucia made out with Irma?

I have been doing some searching but not able to find out how they were affected.

Can someone help me out?

thanks

Did not affect St. Lucia from a damage standpoint. Just some added winds for a few days. Irma tracked quite a bit north of St. Lucia.

Looks like Hurricane Maria may be heading their way. Such a shame as it's one of our favourite islands.

We experienced no damages from Irma. Some heavier rains for a bit and some heavy seas. Perfectly fine.

We're taking some more rain and winds from Maria, as she's tracking closer to us but no major damages expected. Some minor flooding and a few trees down is about it, so far.. No doubt we'll be back up and running by tomorrow...

Happy travels..

YES!! Here is more as to what is hitting these scenic islands. Very sad and challenging situation with the below details. We will all hope for the best, but "two-in-a-row" for this area are too, too many dire happenings.

From the London/UK Daily Mail today, they have this headline: “Category 3 Maria takes aim at the Caribbean islands leveled by Irma” with these story highlights: “The National Hurricane Center in Miami says that Hurricane Maria has strengthened to a Category 3 storm and was 'rapidly' intensifying into a major hurricane. The eye is expected to move through the Leeward Islands later Monday. The storm's center was about 60 miles east of Martinique, with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph. The storm is on a path that would take it near many of the islands wrecked by Hurricane Irma and on toward Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Hurricane warnings were posted for Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat and Martinique. A tropical storm warning was issued for Antigua and Barbuda, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Lucia.”

Below are a couple of their graphics to better show where this storm is headed, etc.

St Lucia is fine. We escaped any serious damage from Maria also. Some foliage down, debris, minor flooding that is receding, minor landslides already being cleaned up, etc. We're fine and open for business.

Anyone visiting next week or later will hardly even notice.

No worries here.

So glad!

Glad to hear that you escaped damage from the Hurricanes.

Yay! I'm very much looking forward to visiting this December. Can't wait to snorkel under the Pitons!
