Tracking these storms is like watching a horse race. No control from the grandstand and bet already made. Addictive.
Lovango Cay is a mile-long island just north of St John, USVI. No cars, no roads; accessible only by boat. The only power on the island is from sun or wind, the only fresh water from rain. Living sustainably on Lovango is not a choice, it's the only option. Building there will likely result in some stories...

DANNY PASSES, ERIKA LOOMS
Danny passed with little wind but some welcome rain. It barely cleared the Virgin Islands before tropical storm Erika formed and started gaining steam. Erika dumped 8" of rain in Dominica in just 5 hours (per text from Dan)... a deluge that would put exceptional strain on the excavating that we've done and drainage around the foundation. Sadly, the roof and gutters won't arrive for 2 weeks so any hope of filling the cistern with Erika's bounty is fruitless. The rain will still be a blessing for everyone and everything else in the drought-stricken area, however. May green return to Lovango.
