Just got off the phone with a few folks on the island.

Tammy is fine, from BAsil Jones, as well as her hubby Lou.

Royal Palms has people swimming in the pool, can't tell from inside there was a hurricane.

Ramons has 100 folks working all day to clean up.
Rick from western union is fine...
Graniels' Varelas, Arceo's, Forman's, Guerrero's, Gonzales', Rivero's, Leslie's, Ancona's, Salazar's, all fine.
PLENTY of food and water. Huge barges full of supplies on the island with the soldiers.
But still if you want to come in, bring your own food.
Half front street has electricity. Mata Chica has a couple units lightly damaged, more damage on the rest.

Everyone is sharing, and working together, and in good spirits. Spirits a little lower on Caye Caulker.
Kids are at the school, and have plenty of food. Hideaway took a bit of a beating, but everyone is safe.

Elvis took a pretty good shot, Ramons probably open by Thanksgiving. Others sooner.

More docks left than destroyed, Not half the trees gone, I asked for an estimate, they said hard to tell, i said - half? the answer was no.

Lots of cables and trees around. Beaches look great. No erosion. Sand real white, waters around a bit muddy and brown.

We're gonna make it out of this stuff.
