Wow, I have heard at the radio this morning that Saint Barth and Saint Martin are being hit by the Omar hurricane…

Omar seems to be at about 115 km away from the islands, and is now in the category 3 (110-130mph, i.e. 175-210km/h), with a 30km/h movement (actually very strange, from SW to NE, which is not the “normal” movement of hurricanes in this region…), accelerating and strengthening!

The alert-level is now “purple” (the 5th from 6), which corresponds to the so-called “confinement stage”. People are forced to stay in shelters or at home if it has been prepared for (reliable doors and windows closings).

To all my friends & people there: take care!
