Here is an update on VP8STI from Chief Pilot EA5RM received from Bernie,
W3UR:

Past night two tents and most of the yagis were destroyed by high winds.
Both of
their main tents collapsed partially and the team worked very hard through
the night
to save them.  The Braveheart recorded winds of 70 mph (112 Kph). They are
running
only on 40 meters due antenna damage.
Once they can assess damage they can determine whether they can proceed to
South
Georgia or not. Right now they are doing last QSO as VP8STI due they have
asked the
Braveheart to extract them when it´s possible. They regret that they have
fallen
short of their plans , however the team and crew safety is most important.
