That's the glass half-empty analysis. Our cistern was just emptied and repaired, so bring on the rain!

I'll take it as you are not worried about this one then?

We have put a lot of effort (and expense) into preparing for hurricane season. Every door and window has heavy marine ply shutters bolstered with heavy duty custom stainless hardware. Trees with rot have been removed and burned. A mixer with special concrete was barged in to rebuild our snorkeling dock. After 50+ years, we know there is no guarantee, but we've done everything possible.

That is still my wife's favorite place in BVI...she was talking about it today

Tuesday, yes. Hurricane by Tuesday, no. Tropical storm, maybe.

I'm going to guess that we see Tropical Storm Ernesto and 45mph to 50mph winds on Wednesday.

Enough for me to haul my dinghy!
