Holy Crap!!!
We thought the house was going to fall. Stuff falling down. Afraid to go outside because the roof is tile & didn't want them sliding down on us. The stores had things falling off the shelves. The liquor stores took a hit. Good thing I had plenty of rum on the boat.
Depart in 10 minutes for Martinique. If the volcano erupts there, I'll try to send photos before the pyroclastic cloud hits us.
Island Life!!!
