AWOS stations up and reporting right now. At 22:50 UTC, ESE 85 G 110 (kt) at Commissioner's Point, and St. David's is 77 G 103. I know it was mentioned earlier that the Commissioner's Point AWOS is at 150' ASL, but those are still extremely impressive numbers. Wow. I have the live feed up, and what appears to be a flagpole in the immediate foreground is shaking around at high frequency. 

 

I've only been to that beautiful island once, but from what I remember, it's about as well-equipped as any place to handle a serious hit like this. Hoping for the best there. 

 

EDIT: didn't see this earlier, but special NHC statement:
