    Please update any information on the area of Charlotte, Fancy or Owia. We have family there and have not heard anything about those areas on the North Windward side.

    1. Thank you for your question. We do not have any information on that area as yet. The Prime Minister has also said that he wants to know what is the situation there. No reports of death or injuring in that area have reached us.
