Ellandra,
NautiNurse alerted me to this. I’m a retired Army National Guard Officer in Puerto Rico. I’ll ask my contacts there to let me know about the situation in SXM. As of now we know that the Princess Juliana Airport is heavily damaged and that the French and Dutch armed forces have opcon there. I believe they are evacuating French and Dutch nationals to Curacao first. Americans need to contact the State Department.
Again, I’ll ask around to see if any private charters are being allowed in there yet.
cll—Thank you very much for offering to followup on evac. conditions in St. Martin post-storm. You are the best!
Thank you!!!!
I just learned 4th-hand that the Marines are heading there with 2 ships and 6 helicopters. Bad news is, Jose is now estimated to hit sooner than previously reported.
