It appears you will be fine as long as the power is on. I am supposed to
fly in tomorrow via USAir. They have the flight (right now anyway) schedule
to go.

I have gotten a few emails from Dave and others down there and he said the
damage was not that great to the buildings. Some minor flooding, trees down
and some power lines down. Going south of the island kept the surge away
from the west shore. The east shore may be toast though. I haven't had any
reports from that side.

Just received the attached via email from Dave Dillehay at Aldora
Divers:
"Even though the eye went through the south end of the island damage
has been minimal. I would like you to post the following item:

For our concerned friends and customers.don't worry!

Last night at midnight the northern eye wall of Emily passed over
Punta Sur with 135 mph winds, and slightly reduced velocity in town. It is
now gone on to bother others and we hope they have as much good fortune as
did Cozumel.

At 8 am Memo Mendoza did a preliminary survey of damage. Some power
lines down, branches in the streets, but apparently little or no water
damage. There was no tidal surge at all. The Villa Aldora suffered a little
water in the Courtyard Norte, Barracuda Suite, and Cameron Suite, due mostly
to wind driven rain. My long suffering dock at the Villa (wiped out by Ivan
last year) had no damage at all.

All of our boats were safe on land and tied down. As of 8 am on Monday
we are dragging them back into the water and getting ready to dive again. It
is our goal to be diving tomorrow, July 19th.

We have not been able to check out the rest of the island and we fear
that some of the beaches on the windward side may have been damaged and our
friend's windward hotel, Ventanas Al Mar, was certainly at risk. We will
provide a more comprehensive report when we have information."

All the dive sites are very wet.

Ask this question again in two weeks.

And a damn fine one, at that.

The dive sites should all still be wet in two weeks.

Just got back yesterday from there, still great diving, reefs not damaged,
only did two wet sessions though. Spent three weeks in Belize, wish I had
went back to Roatan instead.
