Roof repaired after Hurricane Matthew has some shingles
missing after lesser winds from Hurricane Irma (not a good roof job!) |
I’ve marked myself “safe
during Hurricane Irma” on Facebook, a great facility that they offer!
Thankfully, Hurricane Irma
took a western path away from New Providence, so
we had quite moderate winds last night (perhaps 25 – 35 m.p.h.) and just light
rain. We went to sleep around midnight and when we awoke everything was quiet.
We are experiencing wind gusts from time to time, but Hurricane Irma has
gone!
Unfortunately, the Southeastern
Bahamas received the full brunt of Hurricane Irma. It has been reported
on ZNS news that there are downed power lines, shingles blown off and sadly
some homes lost, but there have been no injuries or loss of life. The "All Clear" has been given for those islands.
Long Island in the Central Bahamas has reported that their electricity is being
restored throughout the island already!
The “All Clear” has now been
given for New Providence, Abaco, Eleuthera and The Berry Islands, but “Hurricane
Warnings” are still in effect for Andros, Bimini and Grand
Bahama. Our power where we live in Nassau didn’t go off at all during the threat
of Irma.
The Lynden Pindling International Airport reports no damage and that they will resume operations tomorrow.
Hurricane Irma is now
pounding Cuba and forecast
to head for Florida.
We pray that the U.S.
will be spared like most of The Bahamas has been.
