As you know, my own family and I have been in Turks and Caicos on our excursion/enterprise journey. We genuinely made it via our 7 nights first-class, however, as we watched the Weather Channel on Sunday, Aug 21st, we noticed that there was a possibility of Tropical Storm Irene turning into a storm and heading in our direction. On Monday at around 00 am, we found out our flights were canceled for going home on Tuesday. Yikes!! Yikes!! Yikes!! We additionally learned that Tropical Storm Irene turned into now become Hurricane Irene and might be heading proper for us.

At 2:00 pm on Monday, there will be an inn meeting at the Italian restaurant with the lodge’s General Manager. He let everyone understand what the lodge would be doing to keep all the visitors as secure as possible and to keep everyone as at ease as possible. He told us that the hotel had two massive 5 million dollar generators at their disposal if the power went into going out and that they had enough meals and water for 30 days. He advised us that the typhoon could hit around 2 pm on Tuesday, and that we might need to stay in our rooms, and that there would be restaurants open for us to consume. Many indoor activities were available for each youngster and adult to experience at the same time as we waited out the storm.
Waiting for Hurricane Irene:
Hurricane Irene became only transferring about 9 miles an hour and became a category 2 storm as it left Puerto Rico and headed closer to Turks and Caicos. We had a fairly satisfactory day of weather on Monday, but as the day went on, we noticed better winds, the waves in the ocean were getting more choppy, and there were some on and rancid once more showers that we had not skilled the previous 7 days. I decided to begin giving video updates from the resort to keep humans informed of how the climate situations were going in Turks and Caicos.
