View attachment 536295 This bugger took out our internet the past 5+ hours.
Been rainy all day. The sound of the waves is the loudest I have heard while living here.
US Embassy has put out a warning for our department and 3 others to evacuate, but like how and to where? Crazy talk with no way to accomplish it. Anyway, stocked up extra food and supplies today and it "wasn't my day" but no one even asked.
Official weather report is catagory 3 but some are already calling it a 4 before landfall late tonight/early tomorrow. It's moving very slowly and just getting stronger.
Then after traveling over land suppose to hit the water again and reenergize and hit again Friday night/Saturday morning as it heads north.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Hope everything is okay.
Yup, one union signed as well, and now we are waiting for the pilots. Apparently the atmosphere on board is not great, as in there are anonymous notes left in the cockpit addressed to the pilots 'thanks for ruining the company, see you at the unemployment office'. Also in newspapers and social media the pilots are not put in a very favourable light. KLM's pilots are among the best paid in Europe, better pay, less hours. It is probably a small group that is in denial about how bad the situation is, they seem to think we are still in the 90s when business was booming.
Wow how incredibly daft; and frustrating for all involved.
