Because the center was far away, Hurricane Earl did little damage at St. Joseph Catholic High School at its peak approach during the afternoon of August 30, 2010. However, there were higher winds and rainfall that can be seen in the 2 minutes and 35 seconds flash video which is available from the link below. It is best viewed at a constant internet speed at 400 kbps or higher. (There is an internet speed check link below.)
