Good move..Getting the information out early, excellent.
Dont agree, there is just going to be rain on and off sunday. we have tourists to think about.
and closing the ports ??? why ships dont mind getting wet.
i believe that officials would like the day off!!!!
I agree
Getting word out about closing the airport for a non event is crucial
It’s a me no work day
How many days in 2023 has the Beef island airport been closed? Seems like it shuts down 2-3 days every month for a variety of unusual reasons.
Should update every 6 hours or so. Dereliction of duty!!!!
@ Resident, you need to a hike back over the hills, seas and digesting mentalities to your neck of the boring, Black Virgin Islanders people hating woods.
Unfortunately, for as long as it has existed, this site has been the epitome and example of racial Black hatred comments.
Admin has somewhat curb and controlled the overt examples of white racist hatred against Black VIslanders, but the under currents are still evident every day. Recalled is the first time I started commenting on here. It was very nasty public commentary to visit and read from.
It is unbelievable t how much hatred there are in people for other people who have done absolutely nothing to them.
To think about it, all historical and current facts considered, Black people should be the ones hating on white people, for they have multitudes of historical and personal reasons to.
Just don’t get it why they love to hate on other humans so much.
Hey @just Don’t Get It how come everthung is seen in a white/black context. We didn’t used to be this way in the VI, but its so prevalent now. @resident was (I think rightly) that the airport closure was very premature. I don’t work for govt and I’m not sure if you do or not, but govt enplyees seem to think of their jobs as some privelage and not a service. Honestly, closing EIS when the storm was more than 200 miles away was premature.
