11 am update from St. Croix

The winds are out of the SW here around 20-ish. Francis is north of us and the eye should pass , going westward, this afternoon. There are cloud bands covering the sky.

The North shore here is a tremendous site, like Hawaii 5-0, with 7-8 foot rollers on a calm sea, the tops being blown off by the wind as they break on shore.

The tide is up about 5 ft and St. Thomas, BVI and Puerto Rico, being 40 miles closer to the eye, will hae more waves, wind and rain.

The Hurricane Hunters are stationed here and they come and go. I see that Francis is dropping to 948mb, which is a not-good sign.

So, the good report is that it missed us. However, be warned, it is coming your way.
