Default Re: Hurricane Irene

Been wondering how the folks in the Abaco's fared, as the eye went right over them when it was a Cat 3! My daughter sent me this link to a good video taken at Hopetown on Elbow Cay.

The island folks have learned to be very self sufficient, and some of those 100-150 year old wooden houses are built just like their boats - SOLID! Sounds like Hopetown didn't have too much damage; haven't heard anything yet from Man O'War or Green Turtle Cays, but their places are built as well as Hopetown, if not better!
