Lucky GC, not so lucky Little and Brac. Glad you're OK John, and now back to no beer!

Leaves have it tough with wind and salt rain. Every storm here, the trees all turn brown the next day because the leaves are so bruised. Hurricanes pick up a lot of sea water and rain it down, salt rain.

The leaves drop off the trees after several days, and everything looks funny, winter in Paradise? Then it turns green again in a week or so.

Spotty heavy rain here today, leftover from Hanna moving northwest. I drove ten miles out to Cane Bay, and it was raining, dry, then raining again. Here's a rainy place out in the sae. If you look closely, there's St Thomas on the right

Here's a photo of a rain shower between St Croix and St Thomas, fourty miles away, taken a few days ago.
