Hurricane Earl update

[The following is an email and photograph that I just received from Nicole Craig, manager of the Calabash Caye Field Station (University of Belize).]
So.... hurricane Earl Happened. The buoy washed ashore and the crane that was attached to it is buried in sand.  I'm not sure if there was any damage but wanted to keep you updated.

For purposes of comparison I am attaching an older photo of this buoy, showing its location on October 27th, 2015. I am assuming that its location and position were unchanged from how it appears in this photo, up until the time that it was impacted by Hurricane Earl.
