Aug 16 Director's Special Weather Update

ActionQuest and Lifeworks Director Mike Meighan calls in with a special weather update from alongside the dock in the protected Sunsail marine in Road Harbour, BVIs. The podcast is paraphrased below.

"We've been paying close attention to Dean since it left the African Coast last week.... The great news is that she has stayed well to our South (about 200 miles) and is moving west at around 23 MPH..."
"We might see some rain showers and gusty winds but that's about all..."
"Even so, you always need to act in a precautionary manner so we have selected to bring all of the vessels alongside the Sunsail dock in Road Harbour where we will stay tonight at the least..."
"As the storm splips south the big question will be how the airlines choose to react and whether we'll experience any delays on our travel day. Right now there are no forecast delays yet we'll need to wait and see..."
"Jim Stoll, Travis Yates and myself are all in the BVI for the next week so our Florida Office will be short staffed. We understand that parents might be concerned over the travel plans yet we ask that you resist the temptation to call the office without having contacted the airlines first..."
"If and when we have more specific information we'll try to post another update on this system, in the meantime www.weatherunderground.com is a good resource for all the current information on Dean."
