Hurricane Irene Coming to Haiti






We have a hurricane headed here and should arrive by tomorrow. The national weather reports that Hispanola will the hardest hit if the conditions remain. The winds are currently 70+ MPH in St. Thomas. The expected rainfall of 20 inches.

This storm will greatly effect our ability to be online and commute anywhere. We are gathering fuel for the generator and trying to get everything ready before it makes land. We need to make sure everything is secure for the winds. Prayer are needed the roofs that are awaiting repair/replacement hold.

Fuel cost have gone up in the past few months making the efforts to get a fuel reserve for these occations a little more challenging. The generator cost approximately 12/hour to run currently. To get fuel we must send to Hinch to get it at the cost of $400.00 US for a 55 gallon drum plus the transportation fee. A drum of fuel last approximately one month in the rainey season because there is less sunlight to charge the batteries.

Keep the prayers coming.
We greatly appreciate them.

God Bless
