https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2017/tropical-storm-maria"Maria could also affect the British and U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico by mid week as a dangerous major hurricane, and hurricane watches could be issued for these islands as early as Sunday. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of Maria and follow any advice given by local officials."

bvilovercgb said: So, what more damage can be done? Maybe a bit more mud, more stocking of food if one has shelter...maybe it will pass by ... What more damage can be done? Places that are currently providing shelter can be damaged further. Progress made since Irma can be set back to where it was or worse. Additional lives could be lost. People there are already physically and mentally drained - so there's that as well - another storm so close only adds to that - I can't even imagine.. So yes, a lot more damage could be done. In addition, places that did relatively ok from Irma could have damage and that could impact aid. So lets hope it does pass and there's no impact from it.

Hoping, praying and trying to stay positive.

LBI2SXM said: Have you been reading Bvilovercgb's daily posts on trying to survive? He is aware of what can be worse. I feel so sorry for him and all the others on those islands and God help them if they have to endure more! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> I replied in the latest Chuck update. I don't believe bvilovercgb is Chuck or even in the islands at this time. Just to clarify as it seems there may be some confusion.

LBI2SXM said: I don't understand? He is not on Tortola? Then who is this? He is simply sharing the posts that Chuck has made on facebook - they have been shared to both the main BVI groups. I thought it seemed like you might have misunderstood and I think he mentioned in a past post he wasn't chuck, just not so clear from the more current ones.

Yes - Chuck is posting on facebook - someone else is sharing it to two of the BV groups and it is also being shared here by bvilovercgb.

I replied on the other thread. Please just state in each post that you are just re-posting and things are fine.

BEERMAN said: LBI2SXM are you replying to me? Yes, I have been reading Chucks updates here and on BVI Abroad, as I've said my thoughts and prayers are with him and everybody there. ? Beerman, Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. I guess I was confused as to who was who and what was what. I am not on Facebook (guess I should be) then I probably would not act like such an a$$. Everyone is a little on edge, totally understandable seeing what has happened to our beloved islands. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
