Hurricane Omar was a Big 'Ol Dud

The Man and I stayed up past 1AM last night (or early this morning...however you want to look at it). The power/internet/TV stayed on in most areas of St. Thomas and we were all over Facebook getting updates and chatting with islanders as they updated us on the weather conditions. For those without power we would text them the changes per radar...like when Omar kicked into a Category 3 a few hours before reaching the VI's.

Fortunately Omar also turned right, and while St. Croix got a good whack St. Thomas and St. John were pretty well spared save for some winds and a whole lot of rain. The news out of the islands today is pretty good, and life should be back to normal by tomorrow as everyone puts away the shutters and opens up their doors and windows again.

Let's hope that's the last big storm to whip up this season.
