- 1 am Wed, Calabash Bight

We are seeing wind gusts from the NE at about 35 MPH, still no significant rain. All of the fishing fleet and the Galaxy Wave stayed in the Bight today.

This should be the worst of it and we expect things to calm down by morning.

- Things still going well here on Roatan

Hello all,

Thunderstorms and showers here at the moment but nothing serious. Sophie the dog is not happy and wants everyone to know but she still has to stay on the porch. We can hear the surf on the reef quite clearly now and it's a good 1/2 mile from the house. Meanwhile we're prepping for bed.
Reports from the mainland are scattered. Communications have been lost with the Moskitia and Olancho districts and there were reports of landslides in Olancho before comms went down. Rains are diminishing in Atlantida district. Flooding situation unknown there but no reports on TV of anything bad there yet. Tegucigalpa is about to be hit now so we'll have to wait and see. Earlier they were evacuating families living close to the river there. San Pedro Sula is getting light rain and showers and reporting no troubles yet.
The storm appears to be disintegrating rapidly over the mountains and winds are steadily dropping so flooding & landslides will be the main troubles now. Will try to keep all advised as things go along. At present all well here.

Goodnight from Brick Bay, Roatan,
Mike and Susan

Hello all,

So far it's just been rain and the occasional breeze but for now Felix is "all hat and no cattle" out here in Brick Bay, Roatan. We've seen much worse in the winter "northers". The eye will pass well south of us tonight and tomorrow we'll start taking everything down and putting it together again. At present we are VERY relieved!
We have been watching the Tegucigalpa news station on and off but not much to report yet. There has been street flooding in La Ceiba but it did not appear serious yet and the streets fill up there in a big rainstorm any way. As far as Tegus goes the main body of the storm has not hit yet so we will continue to monitor and report as things go along. Meanwhile keep those folks over there in your thoughts.
Will update later on.
Mike and Susan
