Hi Gene,
Yes we also had the beginning of what is now hurricane "OMAR".
Many beaches and structures near the west and south coasts of Curaçao were destroyed or heavily damaged by up to 8 meter (24ft) high waves.
The waves were even destroying the week-end houses ontop of the cliffs at Westpoint.
The beach where the older boys went for the VBS is completely destroyed.
Even the parking area is damaged.
At Knip-beach (Westpoint) all the roofs, benches and trees are "gone".
More than 80 trees were reported down island-wide.
Our home only had rainwater coming in from the South-West.
The two tents are destroyed.
For the rest all is OK.
Our neighbourhood had a power outage on Tuesday, Oct 14, from 10:00 am till the next morning Wednesday 4:00 a.m.
Just this past week we had company from Colombia (8 persons).
They came to minister at the Evangelical Church nearby, but wanted to remain (stay) at one place altogether.
So, as we always do, we said "Yes why not".
The office is their dormitory.
The Lord is good, and we have not words to explain it.
Emma and Carol are doing well.
Please give our regards to all.
God bless you.
Cesar
Hurricane Omar has wreaked havoc on Curacao. Curacao, not in "Hurricane alley" usually avoids the severe tropical weather common in the region. But here is an account from our very own Cesar:
