Off the island: Britton Hill disaster

I left Barbados on Saturday and was not planning to blog for a few days. But I have read the news yesterday of an apartment collapsing into a cave in Brittons Hill, and five members of a family missing. I will point you to Barbados Free Press, Barbados Underground, and other blogs for up to the moment reports, which so far seem very thorough.

Sending prayers to those involved and those trying to help.
