Earlier Skerrit posted “We do not know what is happening outside. We not dare look out. All we are hearing is the sound of galvanize flying. The sound of the fury of the wind. As we pray for its end!.”
“Certainly no sleep for anyone in Dominica. I believe my residence may have sustained some damage.”
