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!

Re: Hurricane Irene
Denny doesn't sound like much, tree's and power and thats about it and they have generators. I can't imagine it wasn't worse but apparenty not - Sundowners on Green turtle lost some deck and docks but were open on the weekend with generator. Some of the big Banyons bit the dust though

Re: Hurricane Irene
Justin reports: BEC has restored power to most of the island! There are a few houses with individual problems, overhead lines and so on, that are still out. BEC has moved on to MOW and will return after they have done what they can for the majority of people. It is a fantastic effort on their part. Land phones & DSL seem to still be out. Will probably take some work by BATELCO to sort things out. Work continues on the road in White Sound. It is still not passable. Rained most of today.. good for washing off the salt.
That was posted in the HopeTown Fire rescue page. I saw alot of pics from Elbow, it wasn't bad, saw some pics from Treasure, tree's down and such, haven't seen anything from GT, but heard they had some minor stuff. Nipper's and Pete's are just fine!!
