Tropical Storm Tomas

At 2:00 a.m. on 30th October 2010, the Tropical Storm Tomas passed through Barbados. The storm was later upgraded to a category one hurricane, as it was headed for St. Vincent.

The storm took off the roofs of several homes and structures across the island. Albeit, some parishes were more severely affected than others were.

As would have been expected with this type of weather, the electrical supply has been affected, mainly due to the trees that have fallen across the island.

However, workers have been busily clearing the roads and working to restore the electricity. A flood warning is also in effect at this time.

Andorra – A Shared Country

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain.  Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here.  In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain.  Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red.
