from corozal

the winds got me and the family up -- all of a sudden it is
getting furious out there.

little rain -- as of yet --

Wind seems to be gusting from every corner when I went out to check -- and
is steady picking up.

Lights not blinking -- and phone is good -- no noise -- amazing considering
what is going down out there.

Navy shows it more South --

My old Url:

http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GIFS/HUIR.JPG

Shows the eye just off shore where Navy said it would be.

Got a feeling we are going to see some major hurricane force winds here --

The Cayes must be taking a real lashing just about now!!

I'm sure communications will go down shortly.

Gusts seem to be getting stronger minute by minuit now -- a couple of big
ones just hit -- soon -- lights out -- now.

Marty- Iam not too good at this map stuff. Does this mean the eye is currently passing over Belize, so the back half will come in the next couple of hours? Or is Belize not quite to the eye. Sorry to be so dense.

There might be a bunch of people taking shelter at Banyan Bay if anyone can get a call into them we might know more.

Just spoke to San Pedro again, they said it sounds terrible outside. Heavy rain and wind, sounds like debris is flying. Obviously they can not see outside, but they said it sounds bad. They thought this had to be the worst, but I cautioned the worst may be yet to come.

Rocking loop. Shows how much the storm intensified as it got into shallower waters.

Hunters!! Look at the size of that thing!!

Ebony, the eye is north and just a tad east of Belize right now. According to CNN, it is 60-90 minutes from making landfall but the past couple of sat pics on this page show the left wall of the eye has already made contact.

When Marty said "about 1/2 over land now", I believe he meant that the full extent of the storm is half over land now. Take a look at the picture that hunters provided.

Thanks Guys! :-) Trying to encourage family and friends in San Pedro, as well as convince family in Cayo that they need to buckle down! Just don't want to overreact and be too emotional, just provide good useful info.
