NEW BIGHT AIRPORT

We know that Cat Island Air landed an Aztec at the New Bight Airport today.  Not sure what time.  It is stated that the runway is good to land on, however, the buildings have major damage or are destroyed.  Vague info on that part. 

We have had contact with Devon Seymour on the island and he describes that the people are o.k. (he is in the south of the island) and also that the roads from Hawk's Nest to New Bight are somewhat passable.  There is definitely debris but he was able to maneuvre around it.  He also states that the New Bight Food Market (otherwise known as Candy's) was NOT destroyed, however, the apartments across from the food store have damage.  GOOD NEWS:  The dock at Smith's Bay, formerly reported to be destroyed, is definitely damaged, but NOT destroyed.  In other words, it appears that a boat/barge could unload supplies when weather permits. 

For those of you with relatives on Cat in the south part, Devon Seymour and family are fine, Linda Rolle and boys are fine.  Devon did say that as much as he knows everyone is safe in the south part where he was (Hawk's Nest to New Bight). 

Again, thank you for your posts...we rely on them for information.  Keep them coming!
