Hotels are telling the tourists they should leave the island (sorry for all that planned a July vacay - too early for hurricanes!). Am staying in my apt. (concrete!!!) along with the others in Mi Casa Apts and like Harriet cannot leave my 3 pets here. Very few boats left on the front side of the island already this morning as most of them have already moved. Likewise most of the banners, flags, tables, chairs or anything else not solidly battaned (spelling?) down is gone - looks kind of strange walking down the beach.
