Fiona is right on our doorstep and trying to ramp up this morning. Strong shear is forecast to beat her up later today so it's still a crap shoot as t...
What are his needs?
The highest credible reports I see for sustained winds on STT and STJ yesterday were 53 MPH with gusts to 69 MPH, So, none of the USVI experienced hur...
Anyone have reports of the maximum sustained winds on any of the islands?
That was a close one! 65 miles is all that separated St Thomas and St John from the eyewall of a CAT 4. Earl's outflow is gonna do a number on Fi...
We're being spared the worst of it. This is a great loop:
Here's how close he is.
It's a wee bit blowy at the moment. I'm shocked that I still have power.
aussie: We had the watch all day yesterday, so the warning shouldn't be a surprise. The only surprise here is that they waited so long to issue ...

Earl is definitely one to keep an eye on. The early tracking models showed Earl recurving out into the open Atlantic following in Danielle's wake...
Puerto Rico has a small independence movement. It's failed to gain much public support but it's interesting nonetheless. Puerto Rico could probably pu...
shhhh...speak softly lest Jumbie hears ya. Jumbie disapproves of "hyothetic theories on what might happen in the future". He'll lob stones at ya! 😀
Oil is the driving force behind the VI economy and accounts for better than 85% of our exports. “Oil is a big deal,” said Lauritz Mills, dire...
Personally, comparing the homicide rate in the VI to the deadliest places on the globe does little for me. Using the homicide rate published by t...
Yup. Agreed. The folks at Castle Glass are first rate.
In the USVI, the murder rates are (assuming a population of 120,000): 47 per 100,000 in 2009 The Daily News used a population base of 110,00...
