There is a hurricane moving through the Caribbean as I type. A few days ago, it passed just north of us, and hit Martinique and Dominica. At that time it was a tropical storm. Once it passed Martinique and Dominica, (well mostly,) still as a tropical storm, it moved on into the Carribian Sea. It is forecasted to make an almost a nintey degree turn for Kingston Jamaica, and western Cuba, causing the outskirts to hit Haiti. For a few hours it was supposed to hit Haiti, but then the forecasters saw that it was back on it’s previous course. ( The one that was supposed to hit Jamaica, along with western Cuba). If Matthew continues on its current route, the Bahamas are in for a big hit also and Miami and the surrounding cities may feel it a bit, but on the bright side it is already starting to lose power from a short period of being a catagory 5. Right now it is a catagory 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h), with gusts up to 160 mph (255 km/h) and if it really is losing power and not just a break in the wind, it will probably die down a good deal more, but I am not a weather forecaster, so my theory is probably incorrect. Hopefully Hurricane Matthew will die down into a tropical storm or a tropical depression before it hits Jamaica, Cuba, The Bahamas, and the other islands that are in danger of getting hit by Matthew.

That was a really good description of the weather watch you are following, Nathan. I can see that you are becoming very familiar with the location of the Caribbean islands as you follow Matthew’s path. Did you experience an increase in wind or rain in Grenada as the storm passed just north of you? Thanks for sharing this with us. We really like hearing about what is going on in your part of the world. Lots of love, GG

Hi Nathan, I am glad you are all safe since the hurricane has moved north of you. Thank you for keeping us up to date. We are glad you and Millie have lots of friends in Grenada to hang out with while you wait out hurricane season. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving this weekend, even though it probably doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving! Love, Auntie Ali xoxo

We are glad Matthew missed us too. Also there aren’t very many friends here anymore because they have all moved up north. We will be heading north soon too.
For Thanksgiving dinner we had shrimp scampi instead of roasted turkey and we talked about what we are thankful for over sundowners.
Hope you can come down soon.
Love, Nathan
