Today we went shopping in Charlestown. The damage, there, is quite awful. The shore-front is extremely badly damaged and you can see damage on most stores, too. One store was still being pumped out by a fire-engine. The roads that I used were not too bad.
Business is, pretty much, back to normal.
On Wednesday, 17th November,1999 St. Kitts started to experiance rain and high surge along the sea shore and small gust of winds now and then. Houses near the beaches were wash up on the island main road, and others were wash away by the high seas. Water also came up into peoples home and wash away their furnitures ect, luckyly no life was loss during that time. One man was noted to have broken his leg when the water came up and wash through his home.
