St.Lucia and St.Vincent had the same nasty weather Xmas Eve nite! :eek:

Luckily, here in Barbados where I am, we had zilch!

That's too bad.

St. Vincent also had it fairly bad, as did the South end of St.Lucia too!

I've been in touch with Levi, of Bumpiing tours. He had to cancel a day's worth of tours, because roads were impassable to the common tourist sites, but there was no loss of life in Dominica, unlike St. Lucia, where 5 died, and 8 in St. Vincent. They are still doing some clean up in Dominica.

Seventeen 17 are now being reported as dead, in St.Vincent! :eek:

 

This is literally Hurricane Damage, but without the winds!

That's exactly what I was thinking when I was reading what Levi wrote me.

We were scheduled to tour with Levi on Christmas Eve and called him when we saw the weather. He informed us of the tour cancellations. So glad we'll be back in Dominica in April to try again!!
