Tropical Storm Philippe is passing through the area, just north of Anguilla. The SXM airport is closed, most SXM businesses have been ordered to close, flood warnings have been issued, and people are requested to limit travel.

Meteo France has issued weather bulletins for SBH, including warnings for heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. Schools are closed. No flights are scheduled.
 
Heavy rain and some wind here so far...I'd say the winds are gusty rather than sustained but they say we'll be in the zone untl tomorrow morning...
 
Sounds like last week here on the Isle of Long.

STAY SAFE!
Thanks, Amy... seas are rough over here, skies are gray, medium wind and occasional downpours.. it could have been worse, and hopefully will taper off overnight
 
Somebody didn’t secure their boat properly.

If you read French, you can find a few chastising words from the Harbormaster, both to the boat owner, and to those who didn’t report the loose boat to his office.
 
Schools are closed again this morning, mostly for safety checks of the premises. There is also a swimming ban until tomorrow morning.
