Amen! Bring it on Danny. Leaving Vegas tomorrow night. Still going to love every moment of SBH no matter what this storm does.

Jeep- you are fortunate. For those going now, it will be perfect- no traffic and we love to watch the storms roll in! Enjoy!

The island has been dry, so it's great for jardins and cisterns.
Honeymooners arrive Sunday, still lots of "romantique" to be had.
Jicky Marine just pulled their boats out of the water...

I wonder how the Kardashians are dealing with this. Sounds like slippy weather for the high heel folks. And, what if the cameras and lights get wet and go on the fritz? Locals will, as usual, take it in stride. Say what ya want about profiteering on the isle, the island folks always survive. C'est la vie.

Dennis,
May I add "even during periods of destruction"? The resiliance of y'all that make it a gem is astounding.
Thanks, Voosh! In the last significant hurricane, I managed -- on very short notice -- a full house of guests, with minimal supplies. A few apples, a little bit of cheese, three pork chops, a gas stove, and a lot of water and wine. A charming young couple from Texas later advised us that their child was conceived that night, and they named her "Normandie."
Hurricanes are not for the faint of heart -- rivers of rain flowing in the streets, limbs audibly being torn from trees & shrubs being stripped of foliage, wind sounding like a freight train passing through the room. But most SBH structures are built to -- and do -- withstand the forces, and there's usually adequate time for preparations to safely weather them. When all subside, clean-up is implemented quickly and with a camaraderie that is an earmark of SBH culture. From beginning to end, an awesome display of Mother Nature and spirited recovery.

Growing up in Florida hurricanes were a fact of life. Had many blow close by but luckily never had major damage. Lost power a lot. Irony is that I come to NY and Sandy hits causing a wee bit of inconvenience. The sound and fury of the storm is pretty frightening. Everything shakes. Even brick buildings. If there is a direct hit, the visitors on the island will have quite a tale to tell. Better to hope that Danny just makes a big right turn.
