Good morning.

Hoping everyone in the islands south of us are doing? OK. I saw some pictures online from Martinique which looked like that island received quite? a bit of rain.

For St. Maarten thankfully, Isaac has been the storm that wasn't.

We had some heavy wind last night. Even this morning it is gusty with rain showers, but the sun keeps trying to shine through. We have had no significant rainfall from Isaac.

We had wind steadily from the ENE yesterday and at 7:00 AM this morning the Met Office at the airport reported winds from the ESE at 20 MPH with rain showers.

Wishing safe conditions for the islands still possibly in the line of fire.

- A tad breezy!

Well, we have woken up to a grey, damp windy morning. The wind started picking up in the early hours and there is a little rain, not much though - so far. The gusts are quite strong and according to the local weather station are currently reaching up to ?70km/h. The Dutch side announced last night that the schools would re-open today and it even states in the local paper that the storm has passed - a bit premature I think!

So far here on the French side, people seem to be going about their normal business this morning and hopefully things will not deteriorate further.

It seems Issac has been a gentle giant so far. It is nice to have cool winds though!

- I'm in wait and watch mode

Sitting in St. Maarten and waiting for Isaac.

Currently Isaac is forecast to pass about 100 miles south of us overnight.

Right now the weather is cloudy and breezy with occasional light rain.

Everything seems pretty normal on the island. I haven?t seen any mad rush for gas or groceries.

We did secure our boats and actually took the little Boston Whaler out of the water...just in case.

My biggest concern from Isaac at this point is how much rain we will get from it.

If we have problems it will be more from flooding rather than wind.

So far so good today. We will see what the overnight hours bring.

Wishing safe passage of Isaac to our Caribbean friends, and especially to the islands south of us.

And hi to Gert who is watching and monitoring and reminding me to post updates.

- SxmDCOMM - RADIO-ONLINE BROADCAST - Price controllers to be out to prevent price gouging

From: Roddy Heyliger <roddyheyliger at gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 09:44:36 -0400

The island is currently under a Tropical Storm Warning.? Tropical Storm Isaac is forecast to pass Wednesday night approximately 110 miles South of the country.

It has become common practice in different parts of the world when a natural disaster such as a hurricane strikes, a number of retailers will try to take advantage of the victims.

Price gouging is when a retailer unnecessarily and callously increases their prices during a time of great panic or in an emergency situation.??

In order to avoid the above situation, the Office of Disaster Management has advised residents prior to the start of the hurricane season to prepare a disaster kit which should include non-perishable canned foods, water, batteries etc.

Food items and sanitary products with a maximum price are: corned beef, sardines, soup, tuna in the can, vienna sausages, bottled water, toothpaste, mouth wash, dishwashing liquid, bath soaps, toilet paper, soap powder, disinfectant, batteries, glass candles, and hurricane lamps.

Government has also set maximum prices for building materials that are used for securing one?s home or business during the last hours pending a hurricane strike.

The maximum prices are for lumber, ply form, nails (galvanize, steel, concrete, zinc nails), paint, hammers, felt paper, flush doors, roof zinc, blocks, cement, P.V.C. fittings, and C.P.V.C.

As a consumer, if you believe that a merchant has cheated or scammed you by engaging in price gouging, then you can call the Inspection Department at Tel. 543-7820, 542-4519 to file a complaint or email eainspection at sintmaartengov.org.

Well this morning the sky is grey and there is a good breeze but nothing too dramatic. the Dutch Government have announced schools are closed today but businesses open as normal. The cruise ship Allure of the Seas has cancelled its arrival for tomorrow. Here on the French side, everything is running as normal and have just seen a couple of trucks on the side of the road clearing any last minute debris. The seas are quite calm for now.

Let's see what Issac brings us later today and tomorrow.

Stay safe
