Unconfirmed reprt that Leverick dock destroyed. Roof gone from church in settlement and one public shelter.

Thorny, I hate to think what Mattie Point looks like. Irma's path could not have been any worse.

there is a new picture of Leverick bay on Caribbean buzz helicopters facebook page. It took more damage than I thought from the first picture. The restaurant is destroyed. Comments from people in the know have said that "the duck and dive" is standing. It is hard to believe that virtually every place we visited this summer is destroyed...haven't seen anything of Cooper, Peter and Norman, hoping they faired better. https://www.facebook.com/caribbeanbuzzhe...e=3&theater

Pictures of the marina and yard are on-line Yard seems to show some yachts toppled. Marina looks OK Speedy ferry on a dock. YCCS lost all docks. Building looks OK Water plant at south sound is damaged lost roof. The Cuan Law and a freighter on on the beach at south sound. The road to south sound is littered. Leverick Bay main building lost the roof. Docks are fine. Many homes in the leverick bay are are damaged.

Look closer at Leverick's docks. Looks like office and the fuel stations are gone. Also have on seen an aerial of VGYH. Too hard to tell what conditions are at that distance. If you know of something closer please share!

Sorry no criticism intended. Just saw things a bit differently. Docks are there but looks like a lot of its major parts are gone. Including Dive BVI's hut. I think it's really Important to make sure we all post accurate information at this time since there is so much social media traffic.

This just posted about folks at Leverick from someone with personal contact with Monica
****BIG UPDATE: We just got another call from Leverick Bay. No deaths, no major injuries. They know about Jose and have shelter. They have a generator up and running somewhere on the island and will produce water. Cisterns are full. Some people have been air lifted to PR. They now know about the medical supplies available at P and that Javier Lopez and Maggie are going to head over when they can. Have been informed that navy is coming.
