The staff reassured us that they already had evacuations plans in place. We would evacuate if the storm was greater than a Category 3 and would have a direct impact. They were negotiating with the government about the people in the resort if the storm was no greater than a Category 3.

The plan was to evacuate this afternoon to a university and two schools.  Food and water is already prepared; all we need to take is a blanket, a pillow and personal stuff.

We will know after 1 p.m. today.

If we stay at the resort, we will need to make sure we fill the tub with water and have candles since the power grid will be shut off.  They have plenty of groceries, water and food at the resort.

All the windows are taped up in all the rooms and towels are at the bottom of sliding doors.

As of last night people were having a hard time getting out, only one person from New York was able to get a flight today.

We all have resorted to staying put.  We’ve never been through this, so we’re not too concerned yet.

The natives are more concerned since they had been through it with Wilma and their houses are not totally prepared yet.  Also all lumber places were closed yesterday so they have today to get necessary materials. They think they will jack up the prices.

So for now, we just wait and see.
