Junior Avery Joseph, left, and his brother, freshman Ahmed Joseph hold up the flag of the Virgin Islands, where they are from, on Sept. 30 in the Jack Skoog Indoor track.
Among those affected in the Southeast and Caribbean hurricanes over the past few months, Central Michigan track and field brothers Avery and Ahmed Joseph are happy to say their family survived the storms.
The brothers, both throwers, are from St. Thomas, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Avery, a junior, said they were able to contact family back home after Hurricane Irma.
Avery said in the days before Hurricane Maria, the waiting only heightened their anxieties.
