  1. Need information for how a visitor can get off the island of St. Thomas to return to the US mainland. The governor mentioned in tonight’s press conference a couple cruise ships coming soon to evacuate up to 4000 people back to Florida’s east coast. Where should a person go to sign up for that.

    • I’m also wondering how a person should get signed up for this. Also, i was able to reserve seats on cape air for Tuesday afternoon. No guarantees if the airport will be open for sure though. I was also given some contact through the coast guard for relief shelters through the coast guard. 340-715–6825 340-715-6844 The red cross is also working with family reunification efforts if you haven’t heard anything from family

      • Tiffany…thanks so much for your quick reply and valuable information. I have discovered that American, Delta, and United have scheduled flights beginning Thursday, 14 Sep. I’ll look at Cape Air since you mentioned that and look how to link them to a flight out of SJU. Thanks again.

  3. My name is Diane. I lived on St Thomas for 10 years. Raised three children who attended the VI Montessori school. I’m worried sick because my friend of 46 years is still on the Island. I’m concerned if she is ok or not. Her name is Denise Ferland. She lives st 4-6 Bonne Resolution. St Thomas US Virgin Islands. 00802. Could someone please go to her home An see if she is ok. Thank you. Mrs Diane Lieberson

  4. Please give update on Island Beachcomber and Emerald Beach Resorts on Lindbergh Bay. It seems that you are not reporting on these resorts AT ALL and people need to know something about their status. If communication is up, please issue a reply of some sort. It has been dead silence for too long. Thanks
