I have plenty of friends, in-laws, and out-laws there. Mostly they are in the Cayo District. Last word was from my daughter-in-law's family. It is getting dark, but they are going into town for last minute supplies. People on the Cays (keys) are evacuated.

I hate to say this, but those people are in some trouble :(
This hurricane reminds me of Andrew, which I went through (ground Zero). 140+ winds, plus the added velocity due to its 20 mph forward speeds. They will be devastated down there. My thoughts are with those poor people.

I have not heard any more news from Cayo. I think the Rum Point people are heading for trouble. Last I heard, the cayes have not been completely evacuated. War, plague, hurricanes: feels like the end of the world.
