I just got back from the Dominican Republic Yesterday and i'm sitting here wondering to myself WHY couldn't my vacation be longer. I'm in Tortola and we have already had watches and warnings issued because of this SYSTEM. It's not here yet so to speak but we have had enough rain as the news says to block one of our main roads.We haven't had a hurricane in quite some time. PRAY FOR US! thanks :)
