Traveler Safe travels!
Traveler Wed 5-10 Update - Storm is going North-Northwestwards (up to 70 knot winds) until Fri May 12 morning and later towards Bangladesh-Myanmar coasts. we are moving South and East so we are protected from the intense conditions (we just have a little extra motion in the ocean today)
Traveler Mon 5-15: Just heard winds in the area are up to 175 mph, hit the coastlines of Bangladesh and Myanmar after intensifying into the equivalent of a category-five storm with more than 500,000 evacuated in time. More than 1,300 bamboo shelters in Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee camp, have been destroyed. Sadly casualties are rising. We were so lucky. Praying for those in the area.
