Dear Reader

The big question being asked these days is when the SXM Airport will reopen for commercial flights. Insders say there is a lot more going on at the PJIA airport than is being made public. Luckily, relief flights are still possible and even Spirit Airlines is executing another relief flight on Thursday that will return residents to St. Maarten free of charge.

Meanwhile, the Port of St. Maarten has announced that the cargo terminal has been reopen for business this past weekend. That is in stark contrast to the situation in Dominica where Dutch navy ships are actively involved in providing emergency food and water via beaches to many areas that are unreachable via land. View the photos online on our Facebook page here.

As we mentioned in yesterday's edition, with all the talk about the situation leading up to, during and after hurricane Irma hit St. Maarten, we choose to focus on the personal stories people experienced during the storm itself. Another such personal account is from Sophia Kelly, property manager for the condomium complex The Cliff in Cupecoy. Read her recount online here and how one guest was injured by flying glass.

In yesterday's issue, we also published a piece about local architect Julian Bruney's explanation as to why certain roofs survived the hurricane without a scratch. However, we erroneously placed a link to the wrong article. We hereby republish the correct link here.

We will continue to bring you reports and articles via this email newsletter. But for the latest news, updates and photo reportages keep a daily eye on www.today.sx  or follow us on Facebook .
