From AEF NEFL Eagle Nest Chat

debistl_AEF (Moderator): FROM GRETCHEN: NEFL WebCam streaming went down around 7:50 p.m., as was expected at some point. Strong winds and heavy rains continue at the nest but no damage. They have downgraded the forecast to a CAT2 hurricane and it is moving faster than expected, which she says is better than slower. Trust the Eagles, and be patient. Updates will be posted in the NEFL chat box. Please keep Romeo and Juliet in your prayers, in addition to all in Irma's path

gretchen_AEF (Admin): Good Morning. Your ground crew is fine. It was an awful night hearing the roaring wind and pounding rain. Glenn has been to the nest and it appears ok. There is standing water in the immediate area, but considering the strength we endured, it is amazing things aren't worse. We are checking the cams, and waiting for our Romeo and Juliet to return after the wind subsides and rain stops. It's still rough out. Prayers for their return are appreciated.
