Great graphic, Michael -- thanks for sharing. And of course the irony is that today is one of the clearest days in a long time -- I can see St. Croix in detail from my window right now....

So back in the states on the Virginia coast us crazy people all went to the beach to watch the storm roll in if it was a Cat 1 or less. I was thinking of checking it out if it is only a tropical storm. I missed Omar because I was in the states. I am a storm junkie.

If vessels over 200 GT wish to remain in port they must be prepared to submit a Safe Mooring Plan to USCG St. Thomas for further vetting and approval by USCG in Puerto Rico.
Ferry Services between St. John/St. Thomas and St. Thomas and the BVI can operate as scheduled.
