Good day again Virgin Islands.

Ernesto developed into a hurricane shortly after passing the Virgin Islands, leaving behind some serious damage. While the storm may not have been gentle with us, by God’s grace, we have made it to the all-clear.

HURRICANE ERNESTO UPDATE - ALL CLEAR 

Message by His Excellency the Governor Daniel Pruce

Good day to you Virgin Islands.

I hope and pray you have all made it safely through the worst of Ernesto. 

Earlier today, I chaired the disaster management operations group, which brings together all of the agencies and departments here in the Virgin Islands to help us prepare for a severe weather event.

Good day to all residents and visitors in the Virgin Islands.

As you will know by now, we are currently on a hurricane watch as well as the previously issued tropical storm warning in relation to Tropical Storm Ernesto.  

I want to send my best wishes to the people of the Virgin Islands as they prepare to celebrate Emancipation Day.
