Tropical Depression Noel

TD Noel formed right over Eleuthera and hit the island hard at the beginning of Nov. There was flooding all over the island, especially near the villa. On the way to the house, there was 3' of water in many places, and no place for it to go. Reports from the island indicate there were places with 9' of standing water. The fire department has been busy pumping water to restore the flooded area and roads. In the area around the villa, there are normally many large "ponds" - in some places they are called small lakes - so there's no place for the water to drain to. Luckily Finiterre is on a 45' bluff, so the house itself was not flooded. Eleuthera should be back to normal by the time we arrive (keeping our fingers crossed)! Hopefully the storm cleaned up the power line noise :-)
