I am in contact with mainland Belize via amateur radio on 14.265Mhz. Most recent information is as follows.
1.)San Pedro has heavy to severe damage with many roofs lost completely.
2.)Apparently no fatalaties for San Pedro.
3.)Nearest amateur radio operator to San Pedro is reporting from Caye Caulker. His last report was this morning indicating a reduction in wind speeds at his location.
4.)Total rainfall reported as high as 15-20inches.
5.)Reduction in strength of winds, but the hurricane is fairly stationary making continued rainfall of concern.
Personal note: Appears the worst is behind them on the island. The net is handling health and welfare traffic so if you wish me to inquire about someone feel free to email me a very short request including just the basics (Name, Home Address or Building they are most likely to be found in, and a one sentence personal message). Just remember with no amateur operator on San Pedro there will be likely be a delay getting a response back.
