[VO-NAT]

According the National Hurricane Center, Lenny is expected to move to the northeast by Friday, crossing Anguilla into the open Atlantic. The storm had weakened to a Category Three, down from a strong four. Lenny was at its strongest when it smacked directly into St. Croix, one of three islands that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands. Gov. Charles Turnbull said the other two islands, St. Thomas and St. Johns, fared well. However, there was costly damage to the St. Croix waterfront and to rooftops in the western part of the island.
