| - Re-Joyce! |
|
Joyce is passing far south of St. Lucia - with nominal impact to our island - Here, in the Rodney Bay area in the north, we are experiencing scattered showers, normal eastern winds, and generally overcast skies. Surf is up a bit here on the west coast that is usually calm, but nothing like Lenny last year. It's just a generally yucky day. We'd rather have this than a big storm though! We hope our neighbors to the south fare well. Saving any other breaking news, this will be my last update regarding Joyce. Julie Connolly Reduit Beach, St. Lucia |
| - Joyce may pass south! |

Latest projections show Joyce passing south of St. Lucia, http://www.nlmoc.navy.mil/newpage/tropics/al142000.gif It is another beautiful sunny day here, looks like lucky St. Lucia will continue their streak of missing storms. Now, what to do with all this bottled water!?! Julie Connolly Reduit Beach, St. Lucia |
| - Joyce puts St. Lucia on Watch |
|
As of 8am, St. Lucia is on a tropical storm watch. Not many visible preparations being made here on island, but it is early yet on a Saturday morning. Local radio broadcasts inform of the storm, so we expect to see more action today. Will keep you informed - Normal sunny day here today with scattered showers.

| - St. Lucia in Denial |
|
Though warnings have been issued on all surrounding islands, St. Lucia remains in denial, with no warnings or watches issued as of Saturday morning. Locals are primarily unaware of the incoming storm or if they know about it, they state they hope it will pass by. There is still plenty of bottled water and batteries in the store as not many people have made preparations. Hotels were filling sandbags on Friday to prepare. Weatherwise, Friday was the most beautiful day we've had in a week, no rain and scattered clouds. Awoke Saturday morning to a beautiful red sky (sailors take warning!) Experiencing showers this morning as well. In the meantime, we're keeping an eye on the model runs! |
| - Debby clears St. Lucia easily |
|
Debbie passed north of St. Lucia with little problems. Monday was overcast with strong showers throughout the day, little to no wind. Monday evening at 5:00 pm, the clouds disappeared and the sun came out - unnaturally still as there is absolutely no breeze. Little to no showers overnight, nothing out of the ordinary. As of 7 am Tuesday morning, it is bright, sunny, hot, and the breeze is back. Good news for all the travelers stuck here. American has canceled all flights through Puerto Rico, our only gateway to the US. Tourists with plans to head north for the next few days will be staying on island for a few days.
